a broken home.

by greenjellybeans

[/align]Im sick of the lies.
im sick of living in a broken home.
the pain i feel to them is unknown.
They make me promises
and then lie exspecting my forgivness.
a mom popping pills.
An alcoholic dad
and unpaid bills.
me here left to pick up the pieces.
trying to make this home functional..
its like trying to cure deadly diseases
A brother fallowing in there footsteps.
whats going to happen when i lose them.
ill have nothing left.

being adopted as a child.
5 years old
but were there intensions worth while?
if so why would they put me through this again.
i thought being adopted would put this nightmare to an end,
but in reality you cant escape this
its all just a tangled mess.
i lay in bed thinking at night.
and wonder what a normal family would be like.
But what is normal anyways.
a family who goes to church and prays?
But even in there homes nothing is perfect.
there's always that problem child
who to them is worthless.
hidden secrets and careless lies.
a daughter sneaking out for sex at night?

And with that in mind...
i suppose for now i should be content
and one day this awful reality will come to an end.
when i can start my own life.
and try to do what to me is right.

just remember this one thing.

Whats normal to them could be un normal to you
and whats normal to you could be un normal to them. Crying or Very sad [align=center]

A quote: "If this generation has failed you, do not fail the next." Not everyone has that picture perfect upbringing adopted or not. The good thing is you're going to do something positive about it.
