(Write a poem starting with, "I wanted you to know something about me")
I wanted you to know
Something about me
About how twisted
My mind is
I used to live
In a "bad" neighborhood
Parents apart
But of course
I never knew any different
I thought it was cool
Having two of every holiday
Having so much diversity
In each household
Then my dad moved
To a completely different neighborhood
Taking me and my brother
With him
He didn't ask
My mom
Forced her to move closer
And I thought that was ok
I was taught by both parents
To keep secrets
From the other one
Taught to lie for
The sake of those secrets
Taught to be the parent
Of my younger brother because
Neither thought the other was fit
Looking back
I know that I'm not the parent
I don't lie if I don't have to
And I know that I don't have
To pick sides
I don't have to be like
One parent or the other
I'm me
I'm my own person
They both have to get over that
Do you see how
Sometimes I'm forced
To take sides
Just so I'm not in trouble?
That's why I'm so twisted
And torn
And better than they'll ever
Dream to be
