Born Into Sh#$

A personal poem about we cannot choose the families we are born into. We have to learn how to deal with it and move on. Sometimes its good to cut off family forever. they can be poison.

I was born into s**t
and I can't change it
I must dwell with it
My family is crazy
Worse than the Addam's Family
Uncle Fester is a child molester
He fingered two of my cousins
And I didn't even begin
Gomez is my dad
And he was always mad
My mom is Morticia
and she was always sad
I was a goth like Wednesday
I was gloomy everyday
And I hardly ever smile
Now I'm an adult
I wondered how did I deal with it all
My family is torn apart
I don't want to be apart of it at all
No more Thanksgiving
It's more like No thank you I'm leaving
No more Christmas
You can all kiss my a*s
No more New Years
I would rather be alone
and drinking my beer
There's nothing I can do
To change my dark past
All I can do is let it pass
I don't need family
I'm cutting off that part of me
Now I am free
I don't want a part of this
It's not my fault
That I was born into s**t

I think we do choose our families-according to what we need to learn in this lifetime. Like you I chose a doozy! and have since divorced them all. I did my learning.

I enjoy your writing because you sometimes take some crude things and spin them into a joke. and this one I think you took a crude subject and put it in terms that the reader could relate to. maybe not to all parts, but that we don't choose who we are given to, even though sometimes we really wish we could.

I think this poem is interesting. It is very emotionally heavy, but also has great potential to be metephorically heavy (ish). Have you thought about writing this piece comparing your family to that of the Addams family? You could cut out the first three lines and that way it would come across strong and fresh when the first two are repeated at the end. I think the poem is good and the content is that in which needs to be spoken and read. I appreciate you sharing this with us all.

I say just cut out what drags you down, it's your life, no one elses. Live it how YOU want it to be lived. You're born alone and you'll die alone. Your most reliable companion is yourself.

Good poem, this is a deeper, more emotional side of you.

thanks. well i didnt grew up from a great family and im feeling so much better when im distant from them :) we all cant choose which family were born into. but we can choose how to live our life when we finally get older :) thanks for reviewing

[Destinyxi]

I agree. None of us choose who our family is, but thank god we choose who we keep in our lives now huh? :P

[Crazy Cat Man]

:) yes I agree. we got to get rid of poisonous people out of our lives even if its family.

[Gothic Girl]

very true!

[Baby Ricochet]

Touching wit a few funny bits. Like real life. Great job

[That_Girl]

This is great! Loved the Addam's Family bits that you weaved in... it worked really well.

"No more Christmas
You can all kiss my a*s" There's actually a song called 'Merry Christmas Kiss My A*s'... you should give it a listen.. it's comedic but all quite true. :)

Awesome as always my dear!

i come from a very dysfunctional family, too.
i also have relatives who have been molested/raped by other relatives and it is quite sad, but like you said its not our fault when we're born into s**t. excluding the perverts/pedophiles, i'm actually quite proud of being in a messed up family-- i always had the best stories to tell when i was in school :P lol

the way i see it you just have to learn to accept what you have and know that's not the way you have to be.

anyway, this was a good write to read, though its a bit angry and resentful (but who can blame you, you have all the reason to feel that way). i really could 'hear' the poet's emotion in this piece. a shame you used the adams family though-- they're so awesome in their strangeness :p

[Crazy Cat Man]

thanks for ur review. Its good to feel resentment and let it go. its just poison and theres no use to hold on to poison.

sorrry about the Addams Family. I put it there to be light :) we have to laugh in order to get out of the darkness

[Wolf]

I now feel the need to watch the Adams Family series :)) cartoons and movies :)))
Thanks bro! You fed my inner child ;) :D

I know what's the writing's message, but all I can say in my defense is that I'm a bit weird in general XD

[Crazy Cat Man]

its pretty funny. I love the Addams Family :)

[afra]

awesome write ....i can totally relate with this poem ....i hate a person of my family too

[Crazy Cat Man]

its tragic and sad. we are supposed to trust the people who take care of us, and the damaged is done when we grow up. its tough to deal with it, its a part of me but hey.....I wont repeat the same mistake and I will be a better man than my fam :)

[afra]

yeah ...thank you sharing this

[Crazy Cat Man]

I know im not the only one :) so that makes me feel better.
