First there is the prep.
The roommate.
Wearing salmon colored pants.  
He has Shaggy from ****** Doo
On his left thigh.
The alcoholic.
She has a drinking problem.
She is in denial of her drinking problem.
She hangs out with the loners.
The loners.
Unkempt, unattractive and fat in all the wrong places.
The blond looks like Tom Petty.
The one with dark hair, glasses and braces
They live next door.
Living together but segregated. 
Wild cards.
All of us.

It's your job,
Your responsibility.
You **** at it.

Parenthood is a promise,
A commitment made the day you find out you are pregnant,
And renewed every single day onward.
But you failed.

An epic failure that not only destroyed me and you but tainted your image to society.
You crushed my faith and tore me apart.
With nobody to pick up the pieces, I shot back,
Like a loose cannon i might add,
I had no structure,
No example.
All I knew was better than you, I HAD to become.

You PROMISED.
You COMMITTED.
You took a vow, an oath.
Lies consume your every being.

**** the day you made that promise,
Because now I can not trust anyone.

Come here,
electric lover.
I'd like to feel
your touch
through my veins again.
Soothing static
shoots down to my feet;
my roots.
Dare me
to move them?
