I watched my mother
struggling to inhale
and exhale her last breathes
When she started frosting at the mouth,
I kissed her warm forehead and said goodbye.

I was watching a movie when my dad walked in
and told me my brother had a drug overdose
I refused to see his loved dead body,
I was in shock as I dearly cherished him
again someone I loved exhaling a last breathe

I lost my job due to drugs and alcohol,
I'm trying to mend but mutilated my skin
I haven't left the house for over 6 months
I can't face the outside as I clash with people,
often with no intent of hurting.

That shadow is getting closer to me,
I took more than one bite from the apple tree
People I cared about are now my enemies.
