Step Dad Problems

When I was young,

I had to grow up fast,

Because I was alone,

While everyone was together.

/

I did a pile of dishes,

With my siblings,

5,6, and 7 year olds,

Because my step dad was lazy.

/

I remember when I was 9,

My step dad tried kicking me out,

While I was in just a towel,

Because I didn't clean my room.

/

I hated him,

He gave my siblings all of his,

Attention,

Because they were sane when I wasn't.

/

I blame myself,

Because no one liked me,

I was a freak,

And everyone knew.

/

I was just a little girl,

And I was treated like trash,

And sometimes I can't help,

But just feel unloved.

/

My mother worked all day,

While my step dad was too lazy,

To even get a job,

And that destroyed me.

=

My step dad words hurt,

"Fatty Maddy" still echoes in my head,

And I'm 15 years old,

While that was 10 years ago.

/

Sometimes I wish,

My life was so much better,

Because I wouldn't be depressed,

And hurt.
