Black Christmas
I knew that there wasn't a Santa
No rendeer with antlers
Just me and my parents.
I wished for that and this but no answer
came when I asked them constant for gifts.
Twas obvious my mom and him
Had problems solving this akward
issue caught up with bills every December
I REMEMBER!!!
Christmas tree empty we cried
Just egg nog and cake for dinner
I hater winter.
So cold and -
no cocoa on the stove and -
Mother crying cause her kids have no toys to hold and -
Right now I'm the only one sad because
my mother is 8 months pregnant -
my little brother isn't here yet -
Pain runs down my chimmeny I can hear it
Black Christmas
