Breaking in homes it’s my thing

Breaking in homes it’s my thing

Good afternoon Bahama Drama please keep me anonymous. Since I was 14 I’ve been breaking into people homes when they away to work. And I kinda of shy to be writing these things but you know it is what it is.

I started doing it when I went off stateside to live with my Mommy family. Things was rough. I was sleeping on the floor with two other cousins and sometimes we ain’t even have food in the house. The adults used to leave us home all day while they working two three jobs trying keep the lights on. But hunger does make you think different.

The first time I break in somewhere was this lil corner house down the street. I only gone in cause I see they always leave the window crack open. I ain’t take nothing big. Just some snacks, a couple dollars they had in a jar, and I gone. I tell myself I just surviving. But after that it get easier and easier. Like a thrill. Like I was invisible and nobody could stop me.

Even when I come back to Nassau it ain’t stop. I start watching people routine. I could tell who leaving for work by the kinda car they drive or if they got on uniform. I know when they kids gone school. I even know who got security and who don’t. I feel shame even saying this but I just being real. I ain’t proud. Sometimes I cry after I done do it cause deep down I know I wasn’t raise like that. But I can’t seem to stop.

I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. But this one thing feel like a hold on me. I try stop couple times but when bills pile up or I ain’t got no food or the rent late I go right back.

Now I older I start seeing how much pain I cause people. Some of them ain’t never feel safe in they home again after I gone in. And that hurt me. Cause I know I mess up. I just don’t know how to get help. I don’t want go jail. But I don’t want keep living like this neither.

If anybody out there ever been in this kinda darkness and find a way out, say a prayer for me. I tired now. I just want live right.

If the wrong person catches you in their place I’m afraid there will be a lot of slow singing and flower bringing.
