Merry Christmas (the worst christmas)

Merry Christmas twas the day before christmas but nothing was right i sat in my room and cried, as they'd fight. mom with a black eye again, Dad was drunk I have no more friends 'cause my ego has shrunk no one to talk to tears fill my eyes my sisters and brothers just watch as I cry 'cause christmas is coming but not to this house we can't afford food, can't buy a new blouse with no decorations or stockings this year its crazy to think that christmas is here no snow on the rooftop no lights that light up no cookies are baking i guess thats our luck this house is not cozy no love for us kids my parents dont care that my sis died from SIDS i wish for a home that didn't have mice and a well thought out meal instead of dried rice i wish for new parents much different then mine ones who would comfort or say "you'll be fine" i dream for the night that we're taken away to find a new home while people will say; "how could they have children Five more after she, when the problem they had was they couldnt agree?" i guess that i'll learn from my parents mistakes and when i have children my love won't be fake i'll teach them to live to care and to smile and give them a christmas thats well worth their while It's time this poem ends as I pray for the night that Christmas will come and my parents won't fight they wont break the glasses they wont break the plates and mom, when she's home, won't scream 'cause he's late I'll sit in my room and wish through these tears that maybe i'll have a family next yeari wrote this poem in class like 10 minutes ago so i know its not perfect, and it has nothing to do with my family. Christmas at my house is so much fun, and i love waking up (very early) and seeing everything, and then going and waking my parents up...hehe its funny, 'cause they're always so sleepy. I think i'll let themsleep in this year. I'm sorry if anyone can relate to this poem, i'm sorry that happened to you. I just thought  i'd write this b/c i've read so many happy christmas ones, that i think it was time for a sad one Written December 21st, 2001 © on Dec 20 2001 10:54 PM PST   0 • 1
