Family First
Father you leave
But I have not been fed
Mother you too leave
But you have not given me a hug to keep me warm
Father you have gone to feed another family
But I am still here starving
Mother you have gone to warm another family
But I am still here freezing
Father you have came back
But the reaper has already fed me
Mother you have come back
But the cold got to my heart before your sweet warmth
Father and mother
You always say family first
But which family do you mean?

Before I began writing, I was someone other than myself. Writing is my way to be me and put my world in words. Through this site, I hope that I can grow as a writer and hopefully be known in the writing community one day. That said, if you like my writing please share my work and help me out, thank you! Also, if you ever want to contact me, my email is [email protected]. Don’t be shy, email me; tell me something about one of my poems, maybe tell me your favorite one or least favorite, anything!! I want to improve as a writer so I love all constructive criticism and compliments too of course. Have a good day!
