TAMING MR HATEFUL

❣️ BEYONCE ❣️

I looked at the orphanage home again knowing I was going to miss it so much. I can't keep staying there. I am old enough to feed myself.

All my friends since I was young are now in their new homes and as for me. As the unfortunate child, can't get any parent.

I wonder what my parents used witchcraft for. I walked away from the door trying not to cry. My guardian begged me to stay but I refused.

I am twenty. I need to continue my life as a young free living lady. I need to know how out there really looks like.

My bags were in my hand, they contained my clothes and other things like my cream and hair comb.

I looked around the streets not knowing exactly where to head to. But I didn't want to go back so I kept walking.

Anywhere the night meets me, there I will lay my head. I had packaged food in a small bag. My guardian had it arranged for me when I insisted on leaving. The food would serve for the whole of today.

She told me something that kept ringing in my head. Which is;

"There are bad men out there, all they want to do is get in between your legs. Beware." She told me and it has always been on my mind.

I got to the main road and I saw many shops opened. Don't be surprised I am acting new in the place I have lived for 20 years.

They never allowed me leave the compound because they knew I could get molested or killed by the people of the town.

Immediately some shop owners sighted me. They ran into their shops and locked it up. Some ran inside and began to whisper things to themselves.

I felt so ashamed as they did. Now I see why they never allowed me step out of the compound. They knew this would happen.

I took to my heels running down the road in pain. I realized that if I want to start my life brand new, I needed to go to a place where they have never heard of my parents.

No one will ever give a job around here.

I kept running and I felt my heart would cease any moment from now. I got into two buildings to catch my breath.

I rested my back on the wall breathing very hard. I looked around me and I saw i was in a different place.

"Did I run that long?" I thought looking back to see I have ran almost five streets.

"Wow."

I guess I can start my life around here. I walked out of the buildings and when people saw me they looked away like I was a normal person.

I was so happy that I wasn't chased or something. They didn't know me. That I was sure of.

It looked like another town. Or will I say another City? I walked admits the shops and I sighted a shop which pigeons in it.

"Wow." I exclaimed in me. They looked beautiful, they had different bright colors.

I brought out the rice balls ma'am Anita packed for me and put some on my hand. I raised up my hand and when they saw the grains, they rushed to my hand eating from my palm.

I laughed as their beaks tickled my palm. I looked up and I saw a woman looking at me from the inside of the shop.

I guessed she was the owner of the shop and of course the pigeons. She watched me from inside the shop as they finished up the rice in my palm.

When it was finished, they flew back into the shop. I smiled looking at the birds one last time before turning my back to go when the woman spoke up.
