My so called " step dad "

I hear you stumble up the stairs your drunk again.

I hear mom greet you as you walk into the living room.

I hear you get into a mad rage and I can hear you break mommy’s things

I know that it is my time as a big sister that’s it was time to get my little brother and close the door so it blocks out the noise of his yelling and breaking things

I go under his crib and pull him under and put his close to the wall just in case you come in looking for us so you don’t hurt my little brother

I rather take a hit or be yelled at then my little brother doesn’doesn't e to be the one

He’s so small and could be hurt by the smallest things

I pull a blanket over us so we can be more protected

I put my hands over his ears so he could not hear any more yelling or you breaking mommy’s things

As I lie there next to my little brother and listen to you yell at my mommy I start to cry my self to sleep knowing that tomorrow will be the same way
this was a true part of my life
