My gift in disguise

She sat by the porch of what she once knew as home. Which now was just a wreck that brought back the worst memory. Of the silent night he creeped into her bed, when she was all alone, in their tiny house when her parents were away for the weekend. He was supposed to watch over her, but instead he used her, took advantage of her and gave her a mouth to feed.His drunken self stripped her of her dignity and pride, leaving her all naked on the bathroom floor, with puffy eyes from all her tears. If only she had the voice to scream and shout to the world of what was being done to her but she had been born deaf and dumb. But if he hadn't, she would be a mess, in and out of rehab, jobless and now homeless. She had it difficult as a teen who couldn't talk or hear, and the fact that her parents were never around to give her strength, she had to turn to something that made her forget about her life. He saved her with the unspeakable deed. Because instead of being a dead beat junkee, she became a proud mum of a 3 year old who is her world and her home. A proud mum of a cute angel who she gives the love she never got, because she would never want her to go through what she did. She found her joy, her happiness and her gift in disguise.
