Alone. Always alone. I could have twenty people around me and still feel so alone. Something in my life has been missing for a long time now. I should't feel this empty. I was an 21 year old college student-- this was the time I was supposed to have a ball. But my life leading up to this very day has always felt like I was just floating by watching everyone in this world live their best life. I've had this raging pain since I was a young girl and it has become a part of me. I want my life back. I wasn't this bitter mean ole young person. But people constantly misjudged me so that's exactly what I let them think. My name is Alaya Simone Jones and I was scarred by my sacred tears. It all began with the first man to betray my trust. My father-- a man who gives care and protection to someone or something. I was only eight years old but the pain is fresh a newly cut wound. I went from a perfect family to another cliche in a matter of seconds it felt like. I bet you can guess? Yep. The man who gives care cheated on my mother and then there were only six in the household. At such an immature age I didn't realize that it would affect me this much in my life. An apology would have been deeply appreciated but it never happened so this is how I went on with my AMAZING life.
