Father left
That day I became the man
Strong was the one word my sister used
How though?
Not easy surviving here
My sister being 4 years older than me
Gave me reasons why I didn't die already
After school surprises
It's my turn now
The first time hurt the worst
I even cried, but it didn't matter
Rolls of money came in
Being small was an advantage
Boys and girls are all the same at that age
Night after night, person after person
On my death bed after every last one
Is this what I'm reduced to
It still isn't over yet
I'm now 15, never had a girlfriend
Dropped out of 8th grade
Just to keep my family alive
When will my time come
And be a normal boy again?
Is this worth it?
