Cross

An angry poem

Adult
Three years from now
Fifteen, young
Alert

I want to see the world
In a diffrent light
Death, of my sister
My family in shangles

Mother alone
Father ditched last year
No answers
Fear all around

Sixteen
Drugs, alchohol
Drop out
Loss of money, loss of a job
Bad areas, selling my dignity

Seventeen, broken
Want to die
Slashed my wrist
See my family die

Eighteen
An adult
Scary, angry soul
Arrested on assault, drugs busts
Rehab, is on its way

Ginger,
Family pet
Disappears one day
Nineteen, Twenty, twenty one
Years fly on by

I'm an adult
A story inleashed
Follow me back to my place
My final resting pace
