My Rough Childhood
Have you ever been sad, alone or even felt unloved?
Well, that’s been me since my childhood
Going from home to home feeling like an intruder in a stranger’s home
Never thinking or even knowing what it felt like to be loved
Walking the streets trying to live
And not even knowing where my family is
“Where is your mom?” you ask
I respond with “what mom?” I raised myself because that was my task
She was too busy choosing drugs
That were important to her than her own kids
Dad was busy running from the cops trying to hide
Because getting citizenship papers would break his pride
Now I got a home at the age of 3 but is it worth it
When every time you do something wrong you get hit
Being told you were a mistake
And always wanting to run away to another state
When you try to tell people how your feeling
Always putting on the same face and telling the same lie everyday that I’m fine.
