In the Eyes of Eliza

The mask the girl has covers her face, covers her soul. She wont let people see the real her. She hides the pain. She hides the real her. Her name is Eliza, she is 15 years old. She lives with her broken family, the family of the drunk father who beats her, and her paralyzed mum who was in a accident by her drunk father. Her brother 18, ran away, without even a "goodbye". This is her life.

my name is Eliza, I am just a girl who wants to be free, free of the pain. I hide my self away, away from the hurt and the pain. My family don't want be, my friends don't want me, what friends if any. My father is a drunk, who gets drunk every night and if i don't do his way, i feel it. My mother just sits there, and doesn't say thing. You know why?....cause my father injured her like he does with everyone, she didn't want to go, but he made her, she said no, and then he hit her so she went, and of course he was drunk when driving that car, and crashed into a tree, paralyzed for life. When my mother came home from hospital my brother couldn't stand it, so he ran away, didn't even leave a note, just left, " who am i suppose to talk to now". i haven always wanted to run away, but of course they see me running and its into he room again, locked away, well mum tried helping me once " get out of this house darling you have so much to live up to". well my spying father heard her, and well i wont go into what happened then, because mum cant get around anymore it has been given to me the duties to cook, if the food is not on time, the consequence come. I hide away in my room, i lock the door, where he cant get me, and one day i will leave.

If i don't die tryin. " I hear him yelling he is drunk, i have to-"
