Falling Apart -- Trevor Depugh
"Dear God, Mom's left,
I don't even care anymore.
She punched me in the face and then,
Said she hoped I'd burn in hell.
Dear God, Dad's lost his mind,
The succubus is no more,
Now he only wants mom,
But she'd rather be a whore.
Dear God, something's going on with Trevor,
My brother is fading in and out,
He thought our family would be his savior,
But now I guess the cat is out.
Dear God, why do these things happen?
Are you listening anymore?
Day is dark, and night is black,
My faith is in a war.
Dear God, the little ones cry,
They don't know how to be strong,
My older sisters moved out,
Why does everything feel so wrong...
The youngest is crying,
I'll have to go see what is wrong."
