You were told this was perfection. But isn't it ironic How that man did not create the universe in seven days, And you were not born without original sin? And after that night in the basement You are definitely no ****** An attempt at a shotgun wedding Ends up with a shotgun in your daddy's hand, A lot of tears, A few screaming last words, And the secession from the union. If I'm being over dramatic you may tell me to stop. You got an old apartment Where the thermostat doesn't control anything. You're crying over the stretch marks, And he's telling you it's just a permanent reminder That she was once inside you, And you guys were one person. He is giving you a false sense of hope. He leaves three weeks after Amelia is born, He runs away with the waitress down at the diner. She's pregnant too. It's a boy. You raise her to the best of your ability, She is mentally ******** You do not have the money to take care of her The way she needs to be taken care of. You start doing heroine, You did ******* before you were pregnant. You end up hitting Amelia every day, She is only seven. Your landlord hears you Screaming at her When he comes to collect the rent on a saturday morning. Amelia is taken away. You are now in the corner. You're not even crying, You have drank yourself into a coma. Congratulations. You are not waking up. It's ironic because your ******* name is Mary. God **** it.

When I was six I used to help collect the rent on Saturdays after dance class.
