Life without my family

It's 2 a.m., I have an exam.

My heart beats through my chest.

I'm in tears; can't get any rest.

I dial the number for Pam.

Mother's phone rings

someone answers, unfamilar.

I must have the wong number.

This usually brings comfort. 

I had too much fun.

Now my money is gone.

I call grandpa for an extra dollar,

but once again things turn sour.

There's no one on the other line.

I'm all alone; I am not fine. 

Where is my family?

They are always there to rescue me.

I do not think I can go on,

if all of them are truly gone.
