My Life In A Poem

Evil little fingers
Wrap around my heart
Strangling the love
And breaking it apart

My life isnt simple
My soul isnt strong
This story is complicated
And very, very long

It all started when
I was really, really, young
My parents got divorced
Evil praised and sung

They lived together though
Under the same roof
For many, many years
That was a big spoof

They fought all the time
Back and forth it went
They forgot to pay the bills
And the stupid little rent

I moved to the west
With just my father
My mother stayed east
I didnt even call her

Maybe a year later
She came to live with us
I thought things would be different
Without a lot of fuss

A few months later
She took my little brother
All the way to the east
Then I hated my mother

She had lots of boyfriends
All not as good
When my family was together
Even if we had no food

My mother only called
When ever she needed cash
But my father was broke
There was nothing in a stash

My dad started drinking
And he was never home
I was always babysitting
Just me all alone

Soon my mom came back
With my little brother
But little did I know
She had another

This baby is so different
So distant from me
My mother slept around
Doesnt know who the father could be

My mom is a crack w**re
She will be nothing more
my dad can never be
What everyone can see

Thats my life story
From beginning but no end
Im still struggling with it
My heart will never mend
