I Am Here Today

My life in a nutshell

I was only about four years of age

On my little Brother's very first Birthday

It was about two to three months after 

When I forgot there could ever be laughter

Daddy always worked, supporting the wife and babies

But mommy just quit taking care, she was getting lazy

Four year old me

And little Baby

I had to feed and bathe us both

Until Daddy finally came home

Then came that fateful day

Little Bro had to be rushed away

He broke his head and that was the start

Of the trials that were sure to break my heart

Custody fights, accusations and foster mother

But at least lil bro and I had each other

Or not,he was all I had and they took him from me

When our foster mother's son was caught smoking weed

Can you imagine what that was like, to be a little girl

Feeling so angry at the entire world?

I wanted to be like the other girls

But I had lived in a different world

Don't worry I'm back and it's all okay

Cuz all that matters is I'm here today

Author's Note

This is no fictional piece, I went through hell and you wouldn't imagine...

Hate is strong, is is a very strong feeling. But the more we feel hate, the more hate will eat us up. Were is the happiness? I understand your pain and know how you just be pissed at the world, but the best thing is that now you seem to be happier. You are strong, another magical piece.

This one is very important to me. I had to put out there my story. I AM happier now. Small Town U S A hardly seemed my scene a few years ago. But now, I can't imagine a better place to grow up. Thank you for your kind review.
