Impossible

It was life. Life wasn't fair. It was life. Life wasn't fair. It was life, and life wasn't fair.
She stared at the drawing of the family. The happy family. The impossibly happy family.
Not her family. Not her angry family. Not her yelling family, it was the happy family. The perpetually happy family.
It was life. Life wasn't fair. It was life. Life was fair. It was life, and life wasn't fair.
That's what her brother had told her. Life wasn't fair.
Then I hate life, she had said. Tears rolling down her cheeks. She was tired of mom and dad fighting. Tired of the screaming. Tired of the crying, the endless crying.
"Emily, would you like to share what you drew?" the teacher asks. Her voice ignorant. The teacher had no idea was she was growing through. She stands up, eyes following her. "I drew a family. A happy family. A perpetually happy family." she says to the room. The eyes of her friends widen; they know where she is going with this.
"And why did you draw that?" the teacher asks kindly. She closes her eyes, looking for the words she know she has. "I drew this, because this is what I want, but what i can never have. What is impossible for me to have."
Impossible. That was the word. The impossibly angry family.
Her family.
Her parents.
Her life.
But not what she wants.
"I drew this because one day my brother and I will be a happy family. Just us. And when my brother moves out, he will have a family. A happy family. Something he never had when he was younger.
"I drew this because this is what I want. A happy family. A perpetually happy family." She stops, afraid of going on, yet she does.
"But I can't have a happy family yet. My mom and dad won't get along. So that's impossible for now." She sits back down, her eyes watering.
It was life. Life wasn't fair. It was life. Life wasn't fair. It was life, and life wasn't fair.
However you could change your life for the better, if you really wanted.
A perpetually happy family.
That was her wish.
Everyone's wish.
And somehow she would make that true.
Even if people said it was impossible, because she knew it wasn't.
