"It will get better"
Bailys M. “It will get better” That is what I used to say Whenever I saw my father doing something wrong Whenever I saw my father breaking promises Whenever I saw my father drinking when he should’ve been taking us to the beach When I was 5 years old I didn’t know what a “promise” was I didn’t know what “wrong” meant All I knew was that my father was my father And I have to love him When I was 8 years old I knew what a lie was I knew what “wrong” meant My father didn’t teach me about “honesty is the best policy” He taught me that “you can lie your way through life” When I was 13 years old I saw who my father really was What he really meant to me Even if we are bonded by blood I felt nothing towards him I am 16 years old now I don’t see my father around much Probably only once a week for two hours After all these years of thinking I realized that it never got better. Bailys is a Junior at Franklin High School. She enjoys writing and spending time with her cats in her free time.
