There something about abounded houses that make me sad Walking into a house that once had kids inside with a mom and a dad Where memories were made outside in the back I try to picture the place without the dirt and the trash I go into the bedrooms and picture everything the kids would’ve had The posters on the walls and the hot wheels race track In the back there could have been a pool, swings and a dog playing fetch
Now what lays to rest is an abandoned building No paint, floor boards or even a ceiling The grass is tall and the door is left swinging But if you look at it a different way it’s an opportunity for the taking
If you think about it, it’s not just about a house It’s also about everyone out there with problems Whether it’s on the inside or out With a little love and care they will one day be able to stand by themselves
This poem isn’t really about a house It’s just a crazy metaphor of something that reminds me of myself A ****** up teenager who just needs a little help.
