The present is no gift!

"The present is supposed to be a gift.

The past is supposed to be history with PRECIOUS memories.

And the future is unknown, but it's supposed to be full of hope!! "

' HOPE ' , there is no hope for me, there never was and there never will be. I was born to be used and walked on by everyone.

IT'S MY FATE !!

.................

SLAP!!! Followed by another on the other cheek.

"All you ever do is waste our money and time. Fooling around all day, can't you ever do something useful."

Mom was screaming, her sharp and indifferent voice, rang in my ears multiple times.

' I'm a waste, I'm useless, I'm nothing, I'm a waste, I'm useless....' These words kept circling inside my mind. It's not I haven't heard these words before, but this coming out of my own mother's mouth left me heartbroken.

If words could chop up my heart, it would already be in a million pieces.

Her bloodshot eyes represented pure disgust.

" Are u even listening to me huh?...Where the hell is your voice now?..I'm asking you Lynn Zhang? "

I slowly lifted my head to speak but no words came out. I would say I was tongue-tied but actually I didn't have the guts to answer back.

I could feel the presence of our house's servants and the butler on me. So embarrassing!!

In their eyes I was the perfect young lady of the house. But was I? Was i really?

"If you got nothing to say, then get lost of my sight!! Living in the same house as you disgusts me. Starve tonight!"

"Yes mother." Saying that I left without any word. Correction I ran upstairs as fast as I could, my eyes were already blurry, I wouldn't want anyone to see me in this state.

Bam!!

I closed the door with a loud noise. And slid down against it. Having no energy inside me I stared blankly outside the window. Which was supposedly my favorite thing to do.

I could see the outside world from there, "Freedom" yes freedom that's what I desired. To be free! To get out of this hellish house.

What looks like a beautiful palace from the outside is just another cage for a hopeless girl like me. People would say that I'm a lucky princess who gets everything I need, but isn't it so ironic.

What good is being a locked bird who gets food but can't enjoy its taste.

Is it too hard to like me? What did I do for them to hate me so much?

I lightly touched all those bruises on my arm. Yesterday they were blue now its black.

Even my scalp hurt, why?..oh..just because everyone loves to pull my hair and then throw me against the wall.

Thankfully there were no broken ribs, cause then nobody would even care to take me too the hospital.

I brushed past the hair which were on my face. My face was dry, now all the tears had been soaked up. I must look so horrible.

But now that I think about it, I still don't know what that weirdo guy I met earlier meant.

Does he know me? A past acquaintance maybe. Or just a weird stalker. But he didn't look like someone who is free for this stuff.

Hmm...the more I try to remember, the more it creeps me out.

But I'm already so famous as the young lady of the Zhang family.

Who wouldn't know me?

Aish...this is so frustrating.

Anyways enough self pity. Crying is for losers and in this game of life, we are all fighting!!

So cheer up Lynn these ups and downs keep on coming. I reassured myself. The weekends are over and tomorrow is a new chapter, a new beginning.

Everyday isn't the same. Who knows which miracle might happen tomorrow.

..............
