7 year old!



Emptiness and silence an abstract to every flourished myth around you! 

The writing here is an instinct! Simply a way of expression! 

A decade back I was 7, sweet little girl! Cartoons used to be my love, Games used to be my crush and friends used to be everything for me! 
Innocence is what we kid used to have. 

The world seemed so beautiful, the environment out there used to seem so much mesmerizing!  A bunch of friends and different games; I miss it. 

What could even anyone expect from a 7 year old? The cute smile? Sweet words and different silly questions? Well that’s what every kid possess! Nobody has that Idea of rocking  stage, signing autographs or flying a jet; My friend everything has a time and the brain grows accordingly! 

I had a younger sister, she was 3 a decade back! I loved her a lot! She was an angel! 

She was so much loved that she had a bed for herself to sleep at, fully washed and new clothes to wear. Proper meal was served to her! 

I used to fantasize my life to that of hers! I had never got that good bed sleep, rather I used to sleep on a bed sheet in the kitchen floor. The stitched clothes had so much bad smell that I used to wear for weeks! 

Every night I used to have a dream where I had full of my time with my friends but then the early morning everything used to fade out! 

Time passed so did my age! 

I had then turned 15, nothing had changed except the stitches on my clothes! It was more then! 

Life was going through a lot of stuffs! 

The same routine, waking up the early morning and working until the night! 

My parents loved me a lot, they used to scold me but I knew the love that they had it was enormous and the slap was to make me understand about my mistakes! I never said anything!  

I was a strong girl, My dad used to say! 

He used to play with me every time mom was out of the house! 
It used to seem so much interesting since I had no friends! I used to enjoy my dads company. 

This went on for months until one night mom stayed at her mother’s house! 

It was just me and my dad, we had finished our dinner and I was preparing my floor bed when I heard my dad calling my name, “Angela”? 

I went inside his bedroom and asked if he wanted anything! He smiled and asked if I wanted to play a game! I was excited and said yes! 

That night was a painful night! I had no idea what had happened! 

I am 17 now, I have never been out of my house, never seen the world, I don’t get dreams but something is similar so far now! 2 years has passed and still few times in a month my dad plays that painful game with me! 

I ask for nothing but , “Dad, The games you come up with seems not to be good.” 

I cannot play this every time! 

Games are meant for having fun, isn’t it? 

Then Why do I get tears every time we play this game? Why do I get dull? What does the pain signify? Am I still healthy? 

Can we please not play anymore dad?

Am I a loose character?

My name is Jessica and I am 28. I come from a poor family where I am the only child to my paralyzed mother. It has been 15 years that I have not seen my mother walk. She barely can talk. The proper move that she can make is make her eyes wet but never says a word. My childhood had never been better. I was always jealous of what people had by their side. Seeing kids having a good time with their father used to make my heart burn. I remember my mother once told me that my father had left after my birth. He wanted a son but it was his misfortune and my bad luck that he left because I stepped as a girl. The actual reason for him choosing to leave us behind is yet untold. Is it even a valid reason to leave just because he had a baby girl? Why was I dominated since my birth? Bringing up a life as a girl where the head of the family opts to have a different world for himself and the only suffering the mother has to take; the society putting up different accusations on that poor ...

My Journey

“Happy Birthday Steve”, my little son.  I am Jenna, a mother.  In the chaos of billions of population I struggled. My Birth never made any impact to anybody. Uncle Lucifer said I was found on a river bank.  He took me to an orphanage and handed me to Mother Tessa.  My childhood passed in a good way because I had somebody behind the back to guide me through. Coming to the rule book a child had to leave the orphanage at the age of 16.  Bags packed and a cake cut, that was the farewell mother Tessa bid me with.  A bag and 200 grand was the only property I could save until 16. The world bounded within the orphanage was way too smaller than that of the outer world.  The actual fight with life started when I first stepped into the crowds, crowds of hundreds? thousands? Or billions? hard to answer but it was enormous.  The biggest pain in the world is the pain of hunger. People live to survive as well to so...

I am proud to be my Dad’s son

I am proud to be my Dad’s Son  People say I belong to garbage! But Do I really? My father says I was a gift! He considers me to be an angel.  The cycle of life resulting to be a mystery, I survived. I had a really good childhood.  Portraying my life, I believe I am lucky to be residing amongst billions of population.  Looking at the stars I question myself if I have everything that people dream of but the only factor that hits me is my satisfaction. Trust me I am satisfied with every thing that I possess.  I have friends, I have my father and more of it I have my luck with me.  People say orphans are unlucky but my dad says every thing in his life got better when he found me crying over the river side.  I am the only child he has. A bit unusual but still my dad and I, we complete our family. His love towards me can never be expressed.  I still remember the day when my father rushed into the house with a joyful ...
