Such a shame to the family name <br />I can't seem to do much right <br />I couldn't please them for anything <br />My own mother wants me out of her sight <br /> <br />They think I'm worthless, <br />But they haven't an idea of how they are so wrong <br />Actually, as it turns out, <br />My ambitions have been stronger all along <br /> <br />Do me a favor, and put me on the street <br />I'd be so much happier that way <br />I have all the medicine I need, <br />So I no longer have a reason to stay <br /> <br />My father is dead to me <br />His weekend consisting of beer <br />He has a cigarette in his mouth and a slur in his voice <br />His humanity just seems to disappear <br /> <br />So bury me, blame me, disown me <br />I'm sick of this stupid game <br />If it means I will be something in life, <br />I will be happy to put this family to shame<br /><br />Samantha Stough<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/put-to-shame/
