The cat

[Alexandra]

To the mother in biology only, I know you can never understand this letter, you would have to be human , looking human does not mean being human and have a conscience which you do not,have, I was always terrified of you, I knew you were heartless all along  , I know that all I was to you, was someone to use and abuse, but even I thought there were limits to your cruelty , the cat made me realize no, there were no limits to your cruelty . I was 13, desperately, lonely, I found a stray cat , you said I could keep it for a week, if I took care of it, that I could keep it, you lied, you had no intention of letting me keep that cat, you put the cat n a laundry bag, and told me to put the cat out and not come back, until I had, you knew I had no place to go, no one cared about me, I walked the streets  for hours crying, I felt abandoned, enraged , alone, with a knot of pain in the pit of my stomach, which I have to this day. I write this because ,it is worth a try for me to get out the pain .
