“keep your head up and soldier up”


Ever had  something tear your whole family apart?
I have, and it was terrible to watch,
Sometimes, you’re  lucky and they might stay,
Other times you might want to run away,

How can it be that important you might say?
Well, it’s not, I hope you realize that one day,  
you took everything from me unknowingly.

Even though the drugs are illegal,
you crushed them up and shot them up as much as you can...
it’s sad when to find needles in your drawers,
but even sadder when you walk out those doors

I try to tell myself the past is the past,
but I know I’m lying and yet I try to make it last.
I tell you I love you as much as I can
because I never know when I can hear your voice again,

As I read your letters, I have to thank you,
you made my life harder,
but yet I’m stronger,
thank you for my aunts, sisters,and my father.
