I am from an unwelcoming past I **cannot** forget
I am from an "I can do it my self "family
I am from a childhood of broken dreams
I am from an a d d i c t of a mother and father
I am from a father who doesn't call on birthdays, Christmases, or Easters
I am from a little sister who cries herself to sleep nightly
I am from a sister who is turning herself into an a l c o h o l i c
I am from a sister who tries to make the world a better place for me to live in
I am from a mother who tries her hardest daily
I am from a boyfriend who loves and promises me his heart
