Personal Narrative: Holes

Improved Essays
Holes Bleeding Knuckles, tear drops falling and the realization of happiness; this fellow readers, is the day I lost my childhood. As far as I can remember I heard people say “You are just a kid, you will know when you get older” which is non-sense because I am mature and have been for many, many years. I could’ve understood but I was left out in the darkness in a land full of un-known details, like always. As soon as I saw my father’s big, boney, hairy hands ball up and hit the old floral wallpaper I did understand; no one ever thought a child could but I did. I was not a kid for long, my childhood was robbed with violence, crying and losing the “Perfect Family” image. The “Perfect Family” image would be defined as a loving mother and father …show more content…
As soon as I got up I saw the gray, bluish cotton like object floating all in the sky. Even when the sky’s are dark I thought they were still beautiful; When I heard some screaming I opened up my soft spoken wooden door trying to be as quiet as I could. I tip-toes to a corner I knew they could not see me in; I was in the middles of the living room and the kitchen. I was hiding, in the strawberry shortcake pajamas; thinking of what this fight would be about. I lean in on the floral wall paper and watch my father and mother go at it again. I here the screaming the yelling but the worst part is when he hits the wall two times. I was scared, stunned, sadden, and angry. My father did the action so why does he get to be so angry? He broke the family we were supposed to have. I was no longer a child then, I realized not everything is about happy rainbows, or the last unicorn it is about going through thingsd that will change you for the worse or better. I am not sure if my change was good or bad, I lost my whole childhood at four years …show more content…
He cheated, and then cannot take reasonability for it; he needed to be a man I thought. No words could explain how I felt, I mean I was a four year old just coming out of child-mined care. I see now that things happen for a reason; God had a plan. He did cane me, my mom and my father for the best. I would still love to have the “Perfect Family” but I know that will never happen. I am 15 now still more mature than half the people my age. Most of them have not felt real pain or loss yet; but when me and my mom packed our things up in the little house down in Harlem I did feel it. I knew it was going to be hard I knew that we could never get things back to how they use to be. For years I have been struggling not to tell my father that I wish he did not do it but would that make him hate me like he does my mom? It is just all very messy in my mind. I will never forget that day though from the cotton like clouds to the screaming and to the holes in the wall. I lost my

    I sat in my car gazing through the window as the lightning violently struck through the air. My heart was drowning in the rain as I looked at the broken picture in front of me. I have no dad, at least not one present at the moment. I see a mom at her wits end trying, but I know it's all pretend, an illusion that doesn’t have an ending. Looking at our house, our doll house, with all its broken figurines I can see the lights are on…

    My eyes directed to the old Fisher price playhouse, now having black and brown spots due to dirt and bacteria. Nostalgia feels my nose as when I tried to get in. The red door fell off, reminding me that this is no longer a place of privacy or to hide when I was crying. I sat criss crossed since I am not three feet anymore, and spotted old monopoly cash that was once purple but now a faded white color. I crinkle…

    The rain flew down from the sky like little birds. That would soar and perch on the window glass. My eyes focused like a camera on the individual drops as they inched their way down, following gravity’s commands. The car radio interrupted my deep thoughts with music that brought my thinking into a deeper, boundless abyss. Through the thoughts, the little birds found a way to fly down my cheeks.…

    Flaws: Internal and External The day I found my rash, I did not know it would be a life long struggle. I remember my family telling me that it was just a rash and that it would go away, it never did. It may not seem like a significant problem, but at 7 years old it was. This led me to see that everyone has their flaws, big or small.…

    Taking in all the things going on around I just could not treat these people with respect, they just did not feel like my own blood. The idea of family is where you learn about all the morals in life that was never the case with mine. When I stole, they never did anything about it, since they knew about it because they asked where I got all the new items. Many kids I knew went to church, where they learned about God and what he expects of someone. As my friends spoke to me about the information, they learned I felt bad inside, as if this man is my creator and I have been acting so defiant.…

    Problematic, product of a meddlesome act, ashamed, and embarrassed. “That Hole has got to go” you said. After all, it has been making you look bad for Years: that Christmas party where your in-laws saw it, and, though they said nothing at the time, had probably made them hate you even more; that accursed boy that had tried to fix it, with Duct tape no less; and worse of all, the time when He came, and I had to cover it with a pic of your dog, and hope he didn’t notice. It has been here long enough! It has been here since you got your boyfriend, since the first kiss in that tiny bath room, since the time you were no longer single.…

    Emery I looked around the dank tunnel before stepping aboard the train. Those around me stared out the window with blank, unfeeling expressions. Their eyes reminded me of the sky above us- gray and hopeless, afraid of the upcoming downpour. Coming home was never fun. After a successful 7 hour day at the CDC, I had washed off all potential diseases and taken a stuffy, slightly yellow tinted can with wheels and sticky seats.…

    I had always thought of my homeland as a peaceful, unharmed land. But now looking through the window within the midst of the clouds, I saw the true scars that I had been unaware of. I had lived a life of ignorance to the outside world. Locked in a small, wooden house with enough health, and nurture to survive. I had parents who rarely visited me.…
