Happy Birthday Thandie. Watch Me Cry, #1

Thandiwe Jones  The Best Birthday Ever.   That's what I wanted that day to be.  I wanted it to be my best one yet.  To be the talk of the town.  Everyone's lips to mention it to all those who had not come. I wanted it to be so very amazing. It was a huge deal for me. I wasn't just leaving high school but I was heading to adulthood.   It was going to be my biggest fear conquered. Because conquering fears made everything in life work out better than it would have with the fears kept hidden.  I planned everything from the start to the finish.  It was going to be perfect.
Except it wasn't. When the day came a lot came crashing in without warning I became an orphan over night.  I found out that the identity I knew as my own was of a girl who never even existed.  And worst of all I lost everything on the same night I should have been given everything.  My life in just a blink of an eye changed for good. A girl who once couldn't stop smiling and laughing was now unable to stop herself from weeping and crying from the pain of deceit and that of disloyalty. Watch me cry these tears and maybe you'll watch me wipe them away as well.
