Im 15

but i feel older 

I dont have kids

but i was my siblings mother 

outside of these walls 

we look perfect together 

but inside were all strangers living together 

moms addicted to pills 

dads addicted to girls 

brother loves words that kill 

sister loves to scream and yell 

you know song dollhouse(Melanie Martienez)

well we should have been the family they filmed 

2 years have passed and ive been adopted by a family that seems to good to be true 

that every time i wake up i pinch myself to see if its really real 

tho i love this family i love my broken one too

yeah we wernt perfect but things wernt always so down hill 

as time passes i still pray

that my broken family will one day be healed

This is so touching, poignant and an unflinching piece. It got me tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing this…..
