Don't you just love being treated like a fool and having no food? I definitely don't. When I go to school I try and keep the food and save it for supper. But I get in trouble. So I don't eat supper. But I do eat school lunches! Which is the only food I ever get. Which means I'm lucky. In the summer. I'm not so lucky. But isn't it a good thing I have no friends to come sneak me food? No. It's not. Food is like a holy grail is the summer. So rare. So scarce. So.... Unforgettable. And I don't have it. Sigh. I just wish that maybe. Just maybe. I don't even know. Maybe I could have more food and less beatings? But I could never tell anyone. That would just cause me more pain. But only because they would ask how all this happened. Then I would have to say something like. You know. What I did to cause her to be like this. You know. Crazy. Lady. Possessed. By what I did. What "We" did.
