*****
My sister is so far away
There at college she’ll stay
Doing her work everyday
While stuck alone here I lay
Kinda close are my father and I
Since he no longer makes me cry
Our times together make me sigh
To lift my spirits, on him I rely
All my friends are still in my life
They wish to grow up, be a wife
Though they often cause me strife
I’m still happy they’re in my life
My brother is gone from me also
Rehab: I guess he couldn’t say no
But him I do miss the most though
The reasoning… he’s my best bro
Mother’s tears are an aching pain
She wanders along memory lane
She needs to stop or I’ll go insane
Is she the cause of all of this rain?
Loneliness often drowns my head
As I wipe all Mom’s tears of dread
I think of all of the things Dad said
“Give up on life when you’re dead”
Always will I remember this time
Never will I ever forget this rhyme
