I love my mother.
   So much that I would do anything
   for her.
   Anything to keep her happy.
   
   I love my friends.
   So much that I always buy them 
   gifts on every holiday and 
   birthday,
   just so they know how much I 
   appreciate them.
   
   And of course, I love this world.
   So much that I am grateful for 
   every breath I take,
   every color I see, 
   every melody I hear,
   and every thing I touch.
   
   To me, my life is perfect,
   even if there are some bad
   moments.
   
   "Where's your mother?"
   "She's sleeping. She stayed out late for work."
   "Where did those cuts and bruises on your arms come from?"
   "Oh these? Don't worry, it's not a big deal. My mother was really angry and was also a little drunk last night. She accidentally broke one of her beer bottles on me because I was in the way. It's my fault. I just need to watch where I'm going next time. My mother would never HURT ME...."
   
   "Hey guys, look what I made for you. Cupcakes! I spent all night making them. Tell me what you think."
   "You call these cupcakes? They're burnt!"
   "Yeah! And there's not enough frosting! What kind of cupcake doesn't have a lot of frosting?!"
   "I'm...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ruin them. I'll try again tomorrow and make them better than any cupcake you have ever tried."
   "You better. Don't DISAPPOINT us or you're out of the group."
   "Understood."
   
   "Mommy, I'm home."
   "Okay?"
   "It smells like smoke. Is there a fire?! Should I call the fire department?"
   "No, stupid girl! You know I smoke. What kind of dumb question is that?"
   "You're right. I'm sorry. But look what I got you on my way home from school."
   "Beer?"
   "No. A flower. A tiny daisy I found growing from in between the cracks of the concrete. Isn't it pretty?"
   "Throw it out. You know I don't like weeds in my house."
   "But mommy, it's beautiful."
   "I said throw it out."
   "But look at it. The tiny petals are a pure white, and the middle is a neon yellow. It's glowing!"
   "Don't make me repeat myself..."
   "Here let me go find some water. A beautiful flower needs some water in order to live. And maybe I can go to the store and get some flower food so it could have some nutrients..."
   *SLAP*
   "I'm not going to repeat myself again."
   "Okay mommy. I'll get rid of it if it makes you happy."
   "You're such a stupid girl you know. A stupid, stupid, stupid girl. I thought you would be useful, but I guess I was wrong. I almost wish you were never BORN..."
   
   
   To me, my life is perfect,
   even if there are some bad
   moments...
