The False Moon
The False Moon
When you choose to put children into this world, when you choose to give birth to a little child. That little child becomes your responsibility. You cannot let it down because it will affect it when it grows up, when it has to make its own family. It is your responsibility to give love to this child, to show this child how to live a life. If you cannot cope with the task of taking responsibility of the child you have brought into this world. You have to forget your pride and speak out, for the child’s sake.

It seems like he dose not go to school every day because his teacher says “Good to see you decided to honour us with your presence today Matt” the teacher would not have said that if Matt showed up every day at school. But Matt is also a bit quiet boy, because he does not comment his teacher’s statement. Matt describes himself as a lanky and skinny boy with large eyes and lashes like a girl would have it. He does not perform well in school, he does not trust words and he struggles with numbers. The only thing he is good at in school is art, he doing well in art – he trusts lines “But lines were reliable”. He gets letters from the school he has to show to his mom, witch he do not, because he easily can get away with not to.
Matt does not show the world that he craves for someone to take care of him, but if you read between the lines you can see it “I liked to kid myself she would stop me if I didn’t sneak out the
