Milk-Soap

MILK He was a chubby boy who liked to bully me I had a thing for bullies ; they only hit me one at a time He lived further away than I was near the park and near the apartments my mom liked to stay after dark walking home one day I told him I liked milk this delighted him and mom was gone from the apartment where he stayed and I sat with him on his bed when his mom came home I jumped up he pulled his pants on as his mother came through the door I ran out and as I passed she proclaimed to him you're not allowed to have any girls in the house! SOAP going to visit my mom in the same apartments near the park I went to visit before I watched my mom get high with another woman I wanted to leave even though I missed my mom I told her I knew the kid downstairs, I wanted to leave but mom's friend said don't go to him he is a creep and a criminal, he preys on kids my age, I had already seen him these adults were much more scary I tried to leave but with no success I called mom out for doing meth we fought on the carpet she pinned me down she dragged me across the ground yelling I'll wash your mouth out with soap but I did not give up hope I smashed her against the counter of the kitchen as she tried to shove me into the bathroom, ran out the door and I didn't see the bully but just ran through the park back home.
