As I walk in the door I am shoot with a sent It’s stench is strong I could almost smell it from outside But as I stepped in the smoke got stronger I had be starving I barely ate in days It was the weekend I had no where to eat I had left that morning only to see if I could find food But yet no success Mom barely feed us Me and my sister never got fed by are mom She always was busy She would smoke She would do drugs She would give her body out men Yet she would never care for us She would rarely acknowledge us Only when we were burdens Only when she could look good Only when she could benefit But not during those times We were useless My sister tried to talk to her when they smoked She came back later with burns On her arms and legs I have those same marks I warn her But yet she won’t listen to my warning But I don’t blame her I was dumb kid to But we do the best we can I work to keep her safe I buy us blankets And food And a living But yet it’s not enough My sister never met Dad I tired to but there were to many men And for her sake I hope we never meet dad Because he never cared enough to reach out But as I go looking for sis Is see her next mom Arms out And mom Taking puffs Putting the cigarette out on her arms Just like she did for me I beg her to stop I get in my knees But yet she continues As I get on my knees and beg She takes a puff And she puts it out on my neck I almost scream I learned that only makes it worse But yet it hurts less Seeing it’s me and not my sister She looks concerned I smile with joy For I am used to the pain But as I get ready to give up I hear a knock from the door Followed by it being kicked in That’s when…. That’s when I passed out Now I live with a bunch of random people Without my sister Taking puffs like mom did And sometimes To remember sis I put it out On my neck Then I take a puff
