Broken Home

A broken Home is Not only when parents got divorce Nor when one parent died. It is a broken Home When both parents are alive but there's no love. When there's no unity, Each has its own desire to reign. Sometime one impose their own will to the rest of the members Parents wants their children to abide by their rules However cruel and selfish that is Children learnt dishonesty and dishonour their parents Siblings fight and never yearn each other's companionship Sometime one of the family member engaged in substance addiction It made life even harder Often times i felt alone growing up I felt angry and ashamed I tried to unlearnt what I have accumulated from home But mostly i failed Dark things Pierce through and initiate settlement The night felt so long I was almost on the verge of giving up But one thing that kept me going, Why should I die so young? Let me be a fragment of hope for someone's like me Let me lent my shoulder for someone to cry on Let me lit a candle for someone to see through Let me be a voice for someone ignored Let me be as God created me to be Let me dream dreams even if my wings have hole Even if my heart has been stitched Even if my tears never stop wetting my pillows I will live I will love I will care Let's live let's sing let's dance.
