the pain neglected by my family

© ntsako sunshine the poet
ntsako was a 12 year old who live with her parents she didn't know any of her close relative or extend family. And so she was dying to meet them,but they didn't care about it .shen then wrote a short story:Guys ,I really want to meet u according to my own understanding December time is a family time where we chill together n enjoy the festive season together, but u were not there with me.

you were not there when I was growing. I fought many battles alone u were there to help and strengthen me ,u didn't even bother to look for me ,I'm the one who searched u on social media platforms, I try to connect with u but u are ignoring me , we are just family because of blood not by bond .not to mention love n support.

Ntsako always felt lonely and less important, but then one Saturday of September, her parents told her that her aunt is coming, finally she could meet one of her extend family, so her aunt arrived n her parents expected her to Greer her aunt ,but she ran away. n his herself, she wasn't ready to do so or maybe she didn't want to do so ,but she finally came back to her senses n went to greet her aunt. it was a bit embarrassing though they sat n do whatever they did
h

Her aunt had to go back ,so she accompanied her to the bus stop .they had a little chat on their way to the bus stop.
when her aunt catched a taxi ,she waved at her n ran back home ,she went to her room n cried alone
she thought her family didn't love her and so she regarded her friend n teacher's as family ,it was hard for her when other kids talked about how great tlheir families are
