Family Portrait
by Christina Martin
copyright 04-01-2003


Age Rating: 16 to 127

 
I feel all alone,
an orphan in a sense.
Daddy shot himself,
he just got too tense.

Mommy drinks a lot,
she seems so upset.
My sister hasn’t
had children just yet.

Daddy was a drunk,
and he was into drugs.
Mommy’s not too generous
with kisses or hugs.


My sister pretends
like she understands.
Daddy died too early,
we never held hands.

Mommy hates me,
she hurts me so bad.
When me and mom fight,
my sister gets mad.

Daddy I miss you,
I wish you were here.
Mommy’s sitting down now,
drinking a beer.

Sister is upset,
and she has gone to bed.
I could never accept
that daddy is dead.

Mommy I love you,
but you make me so mad.
My sister was the mother
that I never had.

I feel like an outcast,
I’ll never fit in.
I try so hard,
but I just can’t win.

It hurts me so bad
that no one here cares.
I come home at night,
and get evil stares.

One day I’ll leave,
and mom will be glad.
No more fighting,
and no more getting mad.

I know some of what this poem is saying, I've been there myself. What life sometimes throws at us can break us or make us stronger. I think the first steps to being stronger are in your words. Plus you have very likely helped a lot of people make those first steps to freedom.
