Mama's not here 'cause Daddy hit her.

Brother's not here because we fought again.

My son killed himself last week.

And I have no one to call a friend.

No one understands,

That I'm not the broken home I come from.

I am me, dealing with my own self,

And not letting my "family" define my love.

Just because I fight,

It doesn't mean I can't love.

Just because I have no family,

Doesn't mean I can't find one.

But I have Depression,

A monster I hate more than them.

It's the only thing stopping me,

I just can't pretend.

I really wish all this was over

And he could love me back.

Maybe then I'll be happy,

Turn around this nightmare black.

I'm sorry if you've misunderstood me.

I'm from a brokem home and broken,

But those two things are separate.

My heart, my vital organ--

Swollen--

Is wishing for a breath to take.

That's all.
