dear family

dear family

A Poem by man-in-coat
"

this is not family but it is what i thought it was

"

father

With the words as ammo,

Shooting off as many rounds ,

so that the damage cannot be fixed,

Fist…,

Knocking away memories as if they are just meaningless pieces of life,

Broken ribs blamed on stupidity of a child ,

Mother…..,

Though your heart is broken and love is corrupt,

You found it in each man who walks into the door,

Letting them brutalize your daughters for a small ounce of pleasure,,

blood ..,,

Something spilled all over the bed as your youngest is raped,

Thirteen and pregnant,names getting fired off like it the fourth of july,

Sister…

Don’t cry it wasn't your baby

Your body is too young

I’m here to stay

People…

With intentions that seem nice and end up being a nightmare

The man said come here ,the man left after taking advantage of me

The women said i love you,but she used a gun as camera to take my last once humanity away

Me….

Drifting away

Leaving earth may be my only option

Lying on the floor while life trickles out in a stream

1 minute away and i feel free er

Closed my eyes ,and blew away like dandelions in the wind
