A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS

Time passed away swiftly as days rolled over. Dawn to dusk, I laid impatiently on my bed like a damsel in distress waiting to be saved by Prince Charming. The main purpose of this attitude was to prevent me from seeing the woman downstairs as she sets up her throne. Not like I can stay here forever, I wish.

Crazy, I know but I am not ready to face her or my troubles. Maybe I never will be. She is the perfect definition of brave, confident, and dependent. Everything a woman should be while I was the total opposite. Shy, fragile. The only thing I could boast of was my good grades which anyone could have.

I have so immersed in my thoughts till Nana's voice overshadowed them all. This has been the regular treatment ever since my pride took over me. Nana begging me to leave the room, forcing me to eat, pleading on my mental health, hoping I am still alive.

"This is exactly what a mother should be doing not my Nanny or house caretaker", I screamed internally.
