You're All I Have
One.
“Mom, mom! Take away all my bad dreams okay!” I smiled at my favorite person in the entire world. I know thirteen was a little to old to be asking this, but I was a special case. “All right, all right. I'm coming calm down.” She smiled back at me. She sat down beside me and started rubbing my head as I laid my head in her lap. I looked up at her, “Hey mom, do you think I'll ever be normal.” She looked down at me with tears in her eyes, “Of course I do Shynie.” I drifted to sleep laying in my mother's lap as she took away all of my bad dreams.
We were all we had. She had me. I had her. It was all we had, and it was all we needed. Even if I thought that, I could still here her cry at night. She missed them. I did too, but they are in a better place now I always told myself. I had siblings. Our family was bigger. Two older brothers, two little sisters. Taken away by the state. But I was still here. I got to go back to mom because of my 'problems'. The others weren't so lucky.
