One Deep Life, One Deep Poem
Location
I always wanted things that my parents couldn’t afford
Never realize that my parents were poor
I remember wanting a GameBoy since I was four
Thanks to my parents, they bought me it and I felt adored
With all the money they had, they spent things that I wanted
Grew up and saw that my parents were haunted
With bills and taxes that they have to pay off
I loved many things but it was enough
I’m a senior now with both parents working
Having to pay for college is lurking
But I’m not sure if I will be going to college
My parents still have to take care of my siblings so I’m left with my knowledge
I hope to make it to a college of my choice
But I have to start now with the use of my voice
I grew up once again, almost to eighteen
My parents now doubt me
I’m scared because my parents might kick me out when I’m that age
So I’m left with all my thoughts to finish this page
I feel neglected in my family
Only boy, all girls sadly
They tell me I have a “bad” attitude
I changed and changed every day but they still say that I’m still rude
I hope they know deep down inside I love them
But I guess the outside of me; they say “I don’t like him”
I’m now left with a goodbye
And hope for a reply
