[glow=black,2,300]My daddy died today I’m only five years old Did you know I have not cried? I want to be strong for my mommy
My mother left today I’m only eight years old I begged her not to go I guess I wasn’t strong enough
I’m going home today I’m almost twelve years old She says she wants me back now She’s done with roaming around
My sister died today She was only six months old Did you see I still haven’t cried yet? I have to be strong for my mommy.
I turned her in today Finally I am fifteen She knew the consequences Regardless she continued to play the game
I am going back today Sixteen years old I am so afraid I can not be strong enough for her How long will it last this time?
My mommy died today An orphan at seventeen Why couldn’t I just be strong enough for her? Now the guilt lies within me.
We buried my mother today She was only thirty seven Skin and bones, all that remained She drugged herself to death, now I wish I cared. [/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]Is this true? It's chilling regardless. It seems familiar as well, though....like I've read it before. Ah, well.....probably just a case of deja vu. Great job. [/glow]

[glow=black,2,300]It makes me want to cry knowing what some people have to go through. I mean, my life isn't all that peachy in any way, shape, or form but I am thankful for what I do have. I am so sorry you had to go through that. If I could, I would gladly switch places for a time, so that maybe, just maybe, you or even some other person could have a day without having to remember that pain. [/glow]

LOL I would not change anything about my life. If my father had lived I would not be the person I am today, and if my sister had lived she would ahve gone through the same things I went through and been pushed from one foster home to another until she was 18... I dont wish that on anyone... my mother isnt really dead... I just marked her out of my exsistence because of the things she has done to me... I have a great adopted mom. She was one of my foster moms, the only one I truly ended with a continuing relationship. I tell people shes my mom and she tells people i am her daughter...

thank you Sharon. My theory in life is when things go bad, they are really good cause if they weren't good then they would be bad and bad is bad, I can't handle bad in my life... so all that has happened has been good, no matter what pain I may have gone through to get where I am today... does that make sense?
