I can't take this anymore. I do not want to feel this pain anymore.

My family is sick. My mother died when I was five years old. We have no food, no clean water and no shelter from the hot sun. The children at the orphanage are starving, too weak to shoo off the flies that cover their faces. My younger brother, only three, is too sick to even cry for water or food. My older brother is twelve. He takes care of our family whenever grandmother is tired. I have a younger sister and a younger brother too. Both of them are sick everyday. People are dying from the water we have to drink at the nearest creek. It takes a day to go there and collect water and go back home. This is not just a story, this is my home. My village, my people and the life we live everyday is normal. We have no school or education over here. None of us can read or write anything to one another. We have hope someday that things will get better, that we have clean water and food to keep us alive. But that day will be after my time, maybe if I live long enough, my great grand-children may see it happen, but I don't think I could bear to see another child suffer, let alone mine.

Life isn't so bad. School holidays are here. Man, I hate school. Its so hard going to some place everyday where the teachers tell you off all the time. Then theres the bullies, beating you up everytime you have money for lunch or something. I wonder whats on the telly today... probably the same old shows. We have nothing to eat... yuck, bread. I wonder if we have any soda... oh rats, just tap water. Yuck, I hate tap water. I'm going to go sit back down on the couch now. Hmm, another one of those "Feel-sorry-for-me-cause-I'm-poor" ads. Man, they are so damn depressing. I'm going to sleep.
