Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem when I was 15 and in a home for troubled youth. After a counselor found it under my pillow, she had me committed. She didn't understand that it was because I had written it that I didn't do it. So many poems back then were only about the "frilly, soft side of life" that I never really felt comfortable sharing this poem with the world. Now I think people need to be reminded of the "real crisis" some kids face today. God Bless and please let me know what you think.

All Alone Again

Momma' gonna beat ya'
Daddy's gone again
Brother's on top of sister
And I'm all alone again
Things are happenin'
All around me
But nothin' stoppin'
So I can see
What leaves
Leaves me stranded
Come hold on to me
Cuz' I'm all alone
All alone
All alone again

Momma's drunk on vodka
Schnapps, rum, and brandy
Dad's in bed again
With a chic he calls Bambi
He picked her up
On Elm Street
By the old oak tree
Crying
Come hold on to me
Cuz' I'm all alone
All alone
All alone again

Little sister Susan
Got stuck under brother Ted
Trying to keep her morals and values
Staying out of bed
But brother keeps on trying
And finally gets to her
On her knees she cries
Come hold to me
Cuz' I'm all alone
All alone
All alone again

I'm lonely and confused
No one to help me through
I turn to marijuana
Crank, coke, and acid too
My ship
It won't come in
Cuz' I've finally given up
I'm in my den
On the coffee table
I left a note
This is what it said
"Here I hang
In this room of sorrow
Lonely, confused, and dead!"

thanx for sharing, life can deal some wicked stuff. the important thing is what you choose to do w/the rest of your life. allow evil to keep you down or grab on to the wings of an angel!!! hope U have ahold of those wings!!

Too much too soon to deal with, but Jesus has a plan for those re-born to heal with the love of God's own hand.
