Escape From Toxic Town

I am either from the Portagie shore

or the middle of France

I am from a horrible mother and

an unknown father

I am from the front lines of custody battles

I am from the drug-selling grandparents

I am from a dysfunctional family who

moved to stay away from their troubles

I am from the never-ending line of people

who don't know how or why

I am from a family that hits rock bottom

at every turn. I am from a family that its

children are taken away

I am from a place where i no

longer know my brothers and sisters

I am from a family that does not

get much, but takes it all for granted

I am from a family where drugs were

the one and only love

I am from a lifestyle that seemed fine

till i was old enough to understand

the horror

I am from a family that forced me to

grow up too fast and become their leaning

post and guilt-holder for everything

that went wrong



                      Am I To Lost To Be Saved?
