My vision was blurry, my thoughts scattered
My throat dry and my heart battered.
Mother drunk and intoxicated,
Father always out with other women and faded
Living a toxic life and losing hope
Thinking of any way possible to cope,
With the pain that they cause
Wishing everything could just pause
For a day, or even just a minute.
Trying to disconnect myself form these burdens
I call parents.
So close to drowning,
But I know I have to keep fighting
For myself, my future, my life
And just because the strangers that
Put me in this world
Decided to give me their job,
Doesnt mean my potential has been lost
In the deep void of their love
Slowly but surely,
A successful future is blooming for me.
My vision is clear now, my thoughts in order
My throat beautifully carrying my words
And my heart is finally beating to the sound
Of the anticipating drums of my soul.
