Part 1 Was Me Talking About Moving From Home to Home..
How I Didn’t Have The Luxuries of Cable or a Phone..
But At The End I Left It Where Everything Was Good..
Moved To A White House With Kids In The Neighborhood.
Let’s Jump Forward to When I Was Nine..
Everything Was Going Great But I Knew It Was Only a Matter of Time..
Then That Day Came..
Nothing Was Ever The Same…
I Remember This Day Step for Step..
So Please Bare With Me As I Go Into Depth..
I Woke Up Got Ready And Began My Walk..
On My Way to School As Me and My Friends Would Talk..
The Day Started Just As Normal…
Teachers Were Just As Cordial…
Walked In Said Hi to My 5th Grade Teacher..
Gave Her Morning Speech Like Some Preacher..
1st Period Went By and Math Was Next..
Only Thing I Thought About Was The Test…
I Never Studied But I Said I’ll Try My Best..
Walked In Sat At My Desk..
Mrs Gala Said Good Morning Class..
She Looks At Me Goes Mark Are You Going To Pass..
I Lied And Said Yes, But I Wasn’t Completely Sure..
I Was Aiming For A 60 Something Score..
She Handed Out The Paper And Said Good Luck..
Question #1 I Was Already Stuck..
Then My Friend Josh Got Up To Sharpen His Pencil..
He Shouted Oh My God Like He Saw Something Special..
So Everyone Got Up To Look..
But I Just Kept My Pencil To The Paper And My Head In The Book..
Then I Got Up To Go Look and Mrs Gala Yelled Mark Sit Down..
I Said Oh Man What Did I Do Now..
5 Minutes Later Principal Said Send Mark Down With His Stuff..
I Automatically Thought ***..
What Am I In Trouble For Now..
So I Grabbed My Stuff And Headed Down..
Mrs Gala Said I Can Finish The Test Another Day...
I Said Okay Thank You and Went On My Way…
I Got To The Office and My Landlord Said You’re Coming With Me..
I Thought I’m Getting Out Early So I Didn’t Question I Just Let It Be..
Drove A Few Blocks And Got My Brother From His School..
He Got In And Acted Nonchalant and Cool..
So At This Moment I Didn’t Expect Anything…
But I Knew I Should Be Questioning Everything…
So As We Pull Up To My House My Dad Is Sitting On The Steps..
I Go Over And He Is Crying I Knew This Is As Real As It Gets..
He Looks At Me And Points Behind Me….
My Brother Looked First Then I Looked But By Brother Tried To Blind Me..
He Didn’t Want Me To See…
My Dad Then Says Aren’t Those Moms’ Towers..
Now My Normal Day Turned To Cloudy With 100% Chance Of Showers..
I Felt My Heart Sink Deep Inside..
Felt Like My Insides Just Died….
8 Hours Went By…
All I Did Was Cry..
Praying Everything Would Be Alright..
Praying My Mom Would Be Home That Night..
My Grandmother Calls And Says Can I Speak To Your Dad..
I Automatically Thought I Just Lost Half Of Everything I Had.
My Dad Hung Up The Phone..
Came Up To Me and Said Your Mother Is Coming Home…
My Dad And My Landlord Went and Got Her In Hoboken..
I Tried To Get Up But It Felt Like My Legs Were Broken..
2 Hours Later My Mother Arrived Home All Gray And Full Of Debris..
Saying She Could Barely Breathe..
I Just Sat On The Couch Happy But At The Same Time Sad..
But A Part Of Me Was Mad…
That Is How Everything Went From Good To Bad…
How My Smile Got Flipped Upside Down..
Leaving Me To Ask What Now..
I Know This Day Step for Step and I’ll Always Remember…
It Was 2001 and The 11th Day of Septemer…
This Is Just The Halfway Point Into The Story About Me…
So Please Stay Tuned for Part Three..
