Beat. *Not a true story

Things never seeem to ever go right for me, Taylor Brown. Sure, things once did go right for me at a point in my life, that would be when the “big lady” came and took me away from my daddy.

Sure you would say that is horrible, but for me it gave me the feeling there was actually hope for my life to continue. The nice lady took me to a person’s house and told me I was going to live with her till daddy got help.

I really didn’t know what he did wrong. At the time I didn’t like it. The way he looked at me. The way he touched me. The way he talked to me. At the age of four I never knew what actually was happening. I seemed to go along with it because I knew if daddy had been drinking from that brown glass bottle of his I would get hurt… bad.

However, when I look back to ten years ago I see what he did wrong, and that the lady that came and took me away may have saved my life that afternoon. But when I turned fourteen things took a turn for the worst.
