Hell No

"Hell no we won't go" is a quote I think I've heard in the movies....I was a movie about empowerment and pride. It was about self-dignity and confidance. They knew what they wanted and they didn't let anyone stand in the way even if it meant riskin they're lives. I wonder if anyone has ever felt that way; to truely want or believe in something and would risk it all. In elementary, when I still lived with my dad, I had volleyball practices that started 7am at the elementary school or at St. Mary's Ukranium on Cambie and 12 I think. When my dad would have his weekly random bursts of anger and being unreasonable, for some reason he forbade me to go to practice. I don't know why but there was always a reason for me not to do someting even though I didn't do anything. But that didn't stop me..... I'd ask someone for a ride if he refused to bring me or if all fails, I would walk to St. Mary's on 12th with my mom... Hell no was I going to let my dad stop me from doing what I love. I'd wake up in the morning at 6am very quietly, hoping he wont wake up and yell at me or threaten me. Each movement I made was with extra precaution. I looked over my shoulder every 10 seconds praying to God that today I wouldn't be scolding for his life. Eventually as years passed, I couldn't take my father forbidding me from everything.
