Misplaced Behind A Smile
Growing up the youngest wasn't easy
Watching my mama sale everything
I Learned life was but a dream
Wishing
She'd quit smoking cream long enough
2 stop cps from sending us away
Liven with my aunt wasn't any different
Uncles creeping touching innocents
when no ones looking I invented Friends
Growing up the youngest wasn't easy
Being the half sister of 2 siblings
They hated me because of my farther
Molesting & throwing them down the stairs
they blamed him 4 being gay
Outta all her kids I'm the only straight one
Til this day we hardly speak
Being picked on in school & raped at
13 rumors started 2 pass through
classrooms
Growing up the youngest wasn't easy
having a baby at 15 she accepted me
she was mine
The state robbed me blind of her love
I started smoking weed at nineteen
the pain sinked me deeper in2 depression
I became pregnant again
It was the happiest I've been
then no one believed me I was in labor until
I delivered on my mama bathroom floor
The way I was done is wrong but
what doesn't kill me only makes me strong
OMG! What a strong and emotional poem!! I absolutely loved it. I know how you feel about growing up the youngest. It really sucks!!
damn that is so fucked up. this poem really touched something in me. You never know what a person has been through. and i cant go back and change it, but I want you to know that im here if ever you need to vent a lil more.
Seems like you had a rough childhood... Hopefully things are getting better for you. But you're right, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Very deep and very well written.
damn i really like dis poem, cause it lets da pple kno thingz bout u dat they neva shouldve judged u on in da 1st place especially when its neva really yo fault.
stay strong mama.......u did the hard part of life...........just raise those young ones..........
wow... I love the optimistic veiw sewn into this... the breif of your life stapled onto this... that takes alot of blood, guts, and tears to say something like that when its true... I really admire your writings too... (I actually wasnt trying to rhyme there I promise)lol...
