Rainbow of Emotion

In my time of despair

I shut out the world

I felt no one understood me

Not even my teddy bear

I became distant

I placed myself far

The world was dark

As a pit of tar

February 2013

My father beated me

He didn't care

Cast iron pan

Swung at me

All for a bowl of cereal

That wasn't there

The milk was bad

According to him, it was my fault

I dealt with a loss in school that was close to my heart

He began to disappear

Nowhere to be found

Where was he?

Out with a harlot

While my mom was in despair

I had a feeling

Long before anyone knew

He was cheating

He didn't care

All he wan't was money

That wasn't there

Come her final hours

He didn't see

Her last dying breathe

The tears we weeped

When she entered her enternal sleep

My mom left money

75K, from her insurance

For us to be cared

Go to college 

Be great somewhere

Money was there

But he took it all

Not a single cent to me

For college at all

He took off

Spent it all

On a boat

On jewlery

On her kids and all

We kicked him out

My sister had the assets

Under her care

We made it

We didn't need him

We still don't

His side is cut off

We don't want contact with those drunks

Arrogant people

Also rude

They thought I would be pregnant

Before eight-teen

I proved them wrong

My life, in only a segment

At university

U-T-P-A, to be exact

Nineteen, young and free

First year great

First year paid

Thanks to Mr. Cunningham

Admissions recruiter, at UTPA

Life has changed

I've added stress

Trying to get a degree

and do my best

All for the better

Without a care

I will graduate

No matter the obstacle 

I will be fine

On my path to success
