I drew a picture It was in blue crayon It had my mom,brother,dad,uncles,aunts,and cousins It looked like scribbles,not people at all My mom taped it to her wall Next to her side of the bed she shared with dad She wrote the date i drew it so she could remember
I drew another picture It was of the beach My mom,dad,brother, and I were in it There were birds that looked like 'M's And umbrellas that looked like rainbow colored mushrooms My mom hung it next to my older drawing But didn't write the date
I drew a different picture It was of a dog,I wanted a dog My mom said we're never getting a dog My dad said he wanted one They fought for 1/2 hour I gave my mom the picture the next day She put it on her wall next to the side of the bed she never slept in anymore
I drew another picture It was of my parents before they fought every day I went into the living room show it to them My mom was at the computer crying My dad was yelling Telling her she raised us wrong I listened in,hiding behind the couch The yelling and crying got worse I left and put the drawing in a drawer in my room
I drew a different drawing It was of my favorite singer He had a microphone and a guitar My dad was outside smoking I thought he had quit for good this time I went to show my mom She was texting She looked up from her phone She looked at the drawing Said "that's great" Then handed it back without looking at me and continued texting I put it in the drawer with the other drawings
I drew a picture of my family My mom,dad,and brother Without me,the way it should be I put it in my drawer and wrote the date So I could remember
This is the poem that won me first place in my city's middle school poetry contest :) I had to delete it a few times,but I can keep it up now
