One for being sad, 

One for how my life is bad,

One for my brother, 

And another for my mother.

 

One for my sister, 

Because I hate her but still miss her, 

One for my OESJ friends, 

Because they all came to an end.. 

 

One for my pup, 

Who always would cheer me up, 

One for my step dad, 

Who always was just so mad...

 

One for my OESJ teachers, 

They always had amazing features, 

One for my love, 

Who deals with all of the above....

 

One for who I am, 

That god damn "MAN", 

The "MAN" who's name we don't say, 

The "MAN" who ran away.....

 

From his son, 

Who didn't know what he had done, 

"Where did Daddy go?",

How was I suppose to know??????

Know the goal I would be forced to withhold, 

And no not a goal where you win gold, 

Not a goal you win, 

A goal that's within.......

 

Not to be like my creators, 

Who are traitors, 

Who take more then they are giving........

 

There's so much untold, 

And I had to watch it all unfold, 

I wish I could fold it back up all the way, 

Tomorrow is another day.........


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem after I got kicked out by my mom. I got kicked out on Christmas Eve so yes it 2 was about two months after but it took me awhile to not miss my old home so much. I still have days where I miss certain things but then I have to come back to reality and realize it was not a home I was welcomed in. During the time I did have my ex I was tempted to take out that part from the poem and replace it with something new. But I decided that the poem is a peace of my life like all of my poems and I cannot just simply erase it. So I decided to stay true to the timeline and the situation I was in because all of my poems show what I have been through and is a part of me I can't just erase. I hope you like this poem it was hard to publish but I want to publish as much of my work as I can to show my life through poetry. If you do end up reading the poem please leave a like and a vote, thank you!
