Music in Me

Daddy used to beat her
Mommy used to cry
I would only tremble
Wishing I could die

Money was a problem
Nothing comes for free
But all the other kids
Had much more than me

Got a little older
Mommy took her life
Daddy was indifferent
Got another wife

After mommy passed on
Dad’s attention turned
Taught me what true Hell was
Mom already learned

At the age of thirteen
I got a radio
Listened to the music
Daddy didn’t know

Listen to the lyrics
All that I could do
Music really raised me
Taught of life anew

Only two years later
Nothing's really changed
Still with my new Mommy
Everything's the same

Heard it from the singer
All he really said
Life’s just not worth living
Bullet to the head

Once more Daddy hit me
Pain was all too real
Comfort was in knowing
Soon I’d never feel

Music always showing
How to fight my pain
So when I stole that gun
Knew it was my gain

Turn the chamber over
Gun held to my head
Earphones still kept playing
To this fate it led

One shot was all it took
Lasts not very long
Died as I had lived life
Listening to a song

[Kaleidoscope Apocalypse]

Wow..

A part of this poem was my life for a very long time, so I can certainly relate to this. The emotions were real, the way you portrayed it was real. It was simple, but I think in it's simplicity it became more believable. You have a nice flow here and I think it's a great write!

Wonderful job.

Thank you for sharing..

I love it!
" Money was a problem
Nothing comes for free
But all the other kids
Had much more than me"
Just a suggestion. Change it to "had so much more than me."
It...i dunno.

It's simple and keeps a nice pace.
