Guilt

Split and unhappy

That would be mommy and daddy

Are we still a family?

 

New Years

House still empty

Is it because of me?

 

Father’s Day

Our class made cards

But who is mine for?

 

Mother’s Day

A framed photo, letter, and flower

Yet, why can’t I please her?

 

It’s almost my birthday

Will they be coming my way?

No? Oh

That’s okay

 

February Fourteen

Mom was being mean

Dad made quite a scene

 

Thanksgiving was near

Friends celebrated with their families

It was full of cheer

Father was with other druggies

Mother grabbed a few too many beers

 

Christmas lights went up

Others even had trees

Parent’s resentment was piling up

I guess that meant no get together with the family

 

They always said it was because of me
