My real mom is gone, now I'm alone

Buy not really alone, in this huge home

I'm with my family

I'm just living with my dad but he's working abroad

But I'm with my step mom and sister who  often get mad

I'm doing the chores and I should of course!

Because if not, I'll get the spank

Yeah, I did it all but they still called me nothing and says I'm lazy.

They never appreciate what I did. They never saw what I've done.

But when something's wrong happen, it's me who they blame.

They always left me home spending the penny of my dad and with that, they're so glad

They're always with friends,  shopping at the mall

I cooked, I cleaned, I wash clothes and plates

It's hard to admit but I'm just like their maid

My head aches, to the couch I tried to rest

I'm hungry but I can't stand up and go to ref

When they came, they saw me lying

My step mom starts scolding, to me she kept on spanking

Don't I have right to rest?

Don't I have the right to sit?

I'm weary and I'm tired of it!

In this life, I'm sick of it!

One time, I'm in my room, I'm writing stories and poems

When my step sis suddenly come in and I show her what I'm doing

And I  thought she would call me to eat

But she get my pen and papers and throw it in a wastebasket

I stopped her but she just call it a shit

My tear fell, my heart aches

When the poems I made for them were just rejected like it's nothing.

But I'm used to it, they never supported me

I love doing it

But they hate me for doing it

I don't know why

But I can't find an answer to it

Now, I'm done doing the chores

And here I am writing again the story and poems

When my step mom suddenly pick and get it all

She scolds me again, saying I'm nothing

And saying that my piece were also nothing

She went outside and throw it all

She prepares the fire and was about to burn it all

But I stopped her, trying to beg her

I cried out loud, but she just pushed me so hard

Thankfully an unknown visitors came and I don't know who are they

I picked up all my piece, my pens and notebooks

I was about to go upstairs when I heard someone weeping in my mom's room

The door wasn't locked, it is a bit open so I peeped in it and I was surprised

The man was pointing a knife to my sister and my mom's neck with it's sharp point while the other one is getting a money

I don't know what to do but I ran immediately

I called the police and said that in our home, there's a robbery

After, I picked a thing that'll serves as my weapon

I tip toed and hit the man in his head

Mom and my sister get a chance to fought

She hit those men and were about to run outside

And when I saw a man who's about to stab my mom

I suddenly waylaid and I screamed when I felt its sharp in my body, it hurts!

I heard the police came, and the thieves were cornered

Now, I'm breathing heavily I'm drowning with my own blood

I looked at my sister and mom, whoa! They are not mad!

My mom caressed my face, while  her tears are falling

She's not mad!

She's not scolding!

I was wondering.

Maybe I did a great thing?

I'm sleepy, my eyes are blurry.

But before I close my eyes, I saw her mouthed 'thank you and I'm sorry'

I smiled.

I felt happiness inside.

In the last minute of my life,  I felt the love.

In the last minute of my life, someone was worried.

In the last minute of my life, I smiled.

Yes, I did smile before I died.
