Born into this world <br />the hands of a drunk <br />life wouldn't be easy <br />for this little punk. <br /> <br />First years are hard <br />they get harder everyday <br />the pain they infected <br />you can't take away. <br /> <br />First there was drinking <br />then the fussing set in <br />their fighting soon starts <br />lonely people broken hearts. <br /> <br />Words that they used <br />left me feeling confused <br />their fight soon ends <br />then mine will begin. <br /> <br />Angry with each other <br />will driven them insane <br />taken out their frustration <br />I get the pain. <br /> <br />Garden hose or belt <br />it doesn't really matter <br />beating is a beating <br />don't get any better. <br /> <br />All this anger of mine <br />stays inside my head <br />sometimes makes me mad <br />others wish I were dead. <br /> <br />But never gave up <br />fought to the end <br />stand my own ground <br />won't be sacred again. <br /> <br />Now I'm a man <br />mind of a child <br />before you judge me <br />wear my shoes a while. <br /> <br />Feel all my pain <br />thats locked deep inside <br />so climb on board <br />take yourself a ride. <br /> <br />Before you think about it <br />listen to your heart <br />because once in my mind <br />life will fall apart. <br /> <br />Depression is my brother <br />pain from the father <br />lost in this world <br />child with no mother. <br /> <br />Life is never easy <br />learn as you go <br />lock it in your mind <br />things one must know. <br /> <br />Brought into this world <br />not wanting to be here <br />I get your anger <br />you showed no care. <br /> <br />Now left in a world <br />not wanted at all <br />just gave me up <br />you made the call.<br /><br />Tracy Rollings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-with-no-mother/
