Bad Dream…Good Life

 Your misunderstood…you feel alone, like you’re all on your own. But you got that perfect life. Walk around with a smile on your face like somebody drew it on there. To everybody and your parents your fine everything is perfect. To you…everything is all wrong. But to me I see you. I understand you. 
Why? I see you…I pay attention to how you act, to how you see things. Nobody can look past that smile like everything is all right…you think everybody see nothing but you’re okay. But I see…I see right through it. 
      Ever since you were little…you never had a father figure. Your mother was around but never with you. That man who calls you his self your father…but you call him that man. Hasn’t been there since you were 3…but came back at 16.
You fuck around with the fucks up…and all you trying to do is keep your luck up. 
On the outside you perfect, on the inside you’re fucked up. you go through 7hr everyday with the same look on your face “why am I here…I have no purpose”. You come home lock yourself in your room just you and your 4 walls. 
Dinners ready? You’re not hungry your auntie the lady you stay with, comes nd knock on you door. Your nowhere to be found…all she sees is a note on the bed your backpack gone and the window open. The note saying 
“Sorry auntie…I just need to clear my mind I got to much going on. I will call and check in but I just need some time to be to myself…sometime to figure out who I am and what my purpose is. I have money I will call when I get to where I need to be. Where I belong. You taught me everything I need to know. Everything I need to survive in the curlworld. Your are my queen my everything and I’m sorry for everything I'v have done. I Love you Auntie”
As she read this she drop to her knees crying…scared for her life for her nice…6 weeks past no call…just a whole bunch of papers floating saying “
Missing
(with her picture in the middle)
Have you seen me…
She’s looking over her auntie right now…saying “I’m sorry I love you”
