Chapter Four: The Fight For Food

I lived for school, it was my only escape. I got new clothes and a new lunch box. I was so excited. Mother made me wear the same clothes day after day. Kids game me weird looks - I was dirty. Mother stopped feeding me. I never got dinner, because I never did the chores in time. I just wanted to eat. I started stealing, these kids didn't need their food - I did. Mother just kept finding out my secrets and punishing me. I started going to the grocery store, the first time, I stole a whole entire thing of grahm crackers. It soon ended also. We went to the Russian River. I use to love that place, and now I hate it. Why would mother ever make me eat nasty shit off of diapers. Father doesn't even care anymore. I try so hard to be good. But all I wanted was some food.
