I am from, a nightmare

I am from,

A nightmare i can't escape from;

A life of pain, misery, and abandonment.

I am from,

A family that cant stand my presense;

A lifetime of crying, screaming, and abuse.

My memories appear strongly vague and few,

however, the ones that show are explicit and horrible.

Night-by-night of consistant agony, from people around me;

Day-by-day of fear of death, and where to sleep at night.

Life as a child shouldn't be that of a poor, homeless man,

but, sometimes it is and they have to live with the pain forever.

I am from,

Nights waking up to sounds of screams, crashes, and breaking objects;

The nights being yanked out of bed and having to run for my life.

I am from,

Life being threatened and accused of things i had no idea about;

A life of lies and disownment from the ones you love and look up to.

Nights of waking up from nightmares of the things i have seen and heard;

The times i look around for the person screaming out my name,

only to find out nobody and nothing is there.

The many places i have called home and guys i called daddy;

The nights of seeing the abuse from men, alcohol, drugs, and themself.

all the families i have had, but only to end up with none of them left.

I am from,

A life you could never understand unless you experience it;

A life that shouldn't be experienced by anyone ever.

I am from,

A nightmare that will only be ended by death!
