into the darkness

when I was young I use to dream of a tall gorgeous man wisking me away to a life full of happiness and love I always thought I deserved something more then what life had given me my mother always said to never rely on a man but my young and naive mind said different. today I am supposed to go shopping for a outfit for my birthday party with my best friend nylah she always picks the cutest shirts and they always suit me so well. I have to admit I'm scared of what my birthday will bring this year I couldn't handle anymore disappointment but I'll keep that in the back of my mind and treak forward. my mother calls up to me "nylahs here hurry up and get going!" ugh it's always yelling with her I swear "hey sweet thang you ready to do some shopping " nylah is always so up beat I wish I was more like her. as I tell my best friend about the boring day I had on our way to the mall she interrupts me by slamming on the brakes of her car sending me jolting forward with a angry look on my face but she laughs at me I can tell shes trying to cheer me up " nylah why do you have to do that you know it hurts right it's not fun ok?" as nylah keeps laughing at me we finally pull up to the mall thank god get me out of this hell hold car..
