Peace

hunger sets in
and i was never good a sleep
but theres nothing to eat
mr.noddles for weeks
one pack a day
it was winter
and we we'er broke
hey look the shoe's 
are falling off my feet
broken home
problems at school
hey i was smoken at ten
five finger was the game
i placed
that and river play
just the games we played
in the land of the broken toys

I came from a broken home also, but Praise God, my grandmother made room for us all in her home....I was one of the lucky children of broken homes, and broken dreams, I had two mothers, my natural mom, and my grandmother, also my uncles, and grand-dad, stepped in as a dad. I never missed not having a dad, he didn't want us, and that was just fine with us. His mother, and dad always tried to stay in touch with us, making excuses for him, but we knew the truth.......

wow, stunning use of words! Deep write and true about struggles. Rey, you said "what about 'Crow'", so I said 'Rey' as in Do Ra Me... La, etc... :) My poetry contest is Solfege. I thought you were making a funny so I returned one. Crow, Rey, See, Me, giggle :) Have a great day.
