Life was full
I was oblivious to everything
Until one day,
I just felt empty
I heard my mom screaming
I heard my father yell back
After that day,
My mom became oblivious to me
Every year,
There wasn’t a parent at home
Just my grandma
My brother left
Oh how I miss him
Then it all came back,
My mom was yelling at my brother
All his efforts didn’t mean anything to her
She expects too much from us,
Children of broken homes
She cares about my physical appearance ,
Not my emotional state
She made home feel unsafe
She pressures me to do what I don’t want to
It’s all too much
But she’s all I have
A broken mom can’t help a family stand
