MURDERING GRANDPA

CHAPTER ONE

"Why must I, a child, carry the weight of wounds I did not earn? Why does life hand me shadows before I’ve seen the light?" These brutal thoughts of a little girl who has been through so much, yet keeps finding another reason to loathe life. It doesn’t seem fair
"Well, fair never was a choice." The voice in my head says, and I believe it. But in the end, all I want to do is protect the people that actually love me. Not like my parents who handed me over to another the moment I was born, but my brothers, who have been with me through it all. 
I try to be the rock of my family. It's not always easy but that's the price you need to pay to give back to those who love you.
"Do you ever feel like it was too much though, the secrets, the lies you build, to shield the ones you care about?" I don't just feel it, I know. I know I need to tell them, about the demons that prey on my thoughts. About the fragments that fuel the heart of my pain.
I know it in my soul, that succumbing into my thoughts only drowns me further, but I can't risk it. if I do, everything I build for him, the shelter, the sanctuary I moulded out of my pain. Just to make sure he doesn't hurt the way I did, for Keiran.
