PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm staring at this paper

wondering what to write

so many things have happened

continuing from last night

why are the rules changing

adding fuel to my fight

everyone is hurting

no one's day is bright

mom is in the hospital

may not live the night

dad has cancer now

what hair left is white

real parents roam the streets

keeping out of my sight

coming home only to nag

adding more to my blight

pains in my stomache

sharper than any bite

my head and heart pounding

both full of fright

my world is getting darker

I can hardly see the light

I need something to hold on to

lend me some of your might

praying to the God above

to take me from this site

my brother has disappeared

finally taking his flight

I'm left here all alone

none of this is right
