Faith

I am looking down at a blank cement block. I have tears dripping down my face. Questions are going through my head: “why me?” I took a glance at the sky. There are
no clouds and an eagle floating in the rich blue sky. The sun warms me up, but I feel a cold breeze inside me. I see carvings on the cement block, kind of faded letters spelling Eliot Bucio. I have created a puddle of tears. Standing up straight I say to myself “I need to stay up and I can get through this.” I feel this thought go through my heart giving me hope , courage and strength to keep on with my life. I feel the faith go through my heart. Faith is a child, a child who visits me gives me hope ,courage and strength.  Faith covers a warm blanket around me.

William Fitzsimmons- So This Is Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix)

I choose this song because it hit my heart when I heard it the lyrics tie it with my story. This song means a lot and the fact that I didn't get to say Goodbye to my own father.

I don't have a lot of photo's of him. He never liked to take photo's this would be the first one I got from him. I take a look at it every time and it helps me carry faith.







I was zipping the duffel bag hanging it over my shoulder. I was whispering to my sisters stating that I was leaving. I was leaving for a fact that didn’t make since.
My mom had given me a choice to take out my piercings or to leave her house. I was confused and not understanding why I was marching off. Thinking through why I was leaving, I felt stupid. But I know I needed to leave for ever. Trying to creep out the door, my mom catches me and says, “Where are you going?”
“Don’t worry about it mom,” I replied
“I want to know where you are going.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to be here.”
“Okay leave then. You always were like your dad, always leaving when things got hard.”
By then she had shot three bullets through my chest. Off I went to go to my cousins house where I thought I was going to be understood. I wanted to be listened by an understanding person who tells me exactly how they feel. That person with comfort. That comfort is a tunnel you hide in while a tornado zooms by. Till this day I still have Faith in me. No matter how hard it gets I have to go through it.

This song is what I have been through I hurt my mom I let her down. And I did clean my closet also.

I choose a picture of a door because I Walked out the door with all my stuff. Not leaving a inch of dirt in that house I marched off.
