Self Inspiration

This story may seem a little odd for most people but it's mine and I own it. So many people in this world are inspired by others but I wasn't that lucky. I was a poor girl who had no one to look up to. I didn't have a great mother figure, or a super hero or celebrity to look up to to gain any inspiration. You see, at the tender age of five, I had a mom who was abused by her boyfriend, who was afraid of him , and didn't have courage. He was on drugs and she was just afraid and broken. I watch him beat up, chock her until you would cough up blood and pass out. How could I be inspired by someone so broken? All I wanted was to live a normal child hood and be happy. My step dad wasn't just beating her up every chance that he got but he was mentally and physically abusing me too.
