mommy told me
dreams could come true
little did i know
nightmares are dreams too
i went to sleep
as i was tossing and turning
my mind restless and angry
but silently churning
mommy didnt love daddy
and kicked him out
they did nothing but fight
scream
and shout
daddy was sad
but none the less
found some copes
for all the stress
some on the street corner
and some in the sheets
he thought it was a secret
some secret indeed
i grew older
and nothing changed
if anything, if got worse
all the sorrows and pain
nothing got better
and there was nothing i could do
but never the less
found my copes too
i scarred my wrists
and ate some medication
hoping for happiness
and sedation
I woke up, tired and all
but soon realized
i wasnt asleep at all
