[hometext] => strengths are what hold us together. Never allow the faults of your family hold you back
[bodytext] => I began life in rundown Toronto - a mother on crack Brothers who watched each others back I wasn’t even one when we were alone Mommy had been taken by police drones We were taken my children’s aid I don’t remember but I know how we paid Mommy was gone away not forever but today She didn’t come the next, or even after that day I do she came home better and brought us together Thirteen years later it happened again, mommy wanted to die But why was I there, “911 help me please” and I wanted to hide Away I went again with my father this time, somewhere with love But the problems still happened, now me here alone in my room Afraid of life, wanting death wanting away- salvation came My mommy is better and I can go home once again It’s class time now and homelessness is the topic I can’t listen I wish they would drop it I love my brothers I have two one is well The other is trying to survive, live and enjoy I say it’s a choice- freedom, exploration, and understanding The class just stares “it’s true he learns more than I Out in the street One year later, I am seventeen I’m alone, cold desperate and unclean I’m in a shelter for the teens with mistakes I want better than this I’ll do what it takes Today I’m wise and brave I’ve learned a lesson Today I am 19 and I have began college I made it, I knew I could do it, never again do I want that life Do what you can and dream the dreams to strive for The past was nothing but the future is forever [comments] => 1 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 23 [informant] => sensible_paper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
