Broken Home

A father who left before a life has begun, 

a mother who drinks her life and love away, 

grandparents who care more than the parent does, 

fighting, division, self hate.

in this broken home, a hurt child, 

no father, a mother who doesn't care except for a bottle of self loathing, liquid death. 

in this broken home, 

love has come to the child, 

love from a boy who shown her strength, love, compassion and so much more in this world. 

grandparents who do anything for her, feeling the love of the wise before her. 

broken home, 

we will someday get the band-aid we will need to feel together again.
