I want.. I need..

I never did really have a mum
and my brothers did abuse me,
I ran away from all of them
and the toxic blood inside me.

Now much older and an orphan
not knowing what a family is like.
How do I be a mum to my kids?
When all I had was poison around me.

I need to have a special friend
the ones that people call sister.
I want to know that feeling
of having someone close.

I want to have a special someone
who sees life as I do.
To share each other worries
and I can be ther for you too!

Author notes

Hello, I am 35 years old, and have no family of my own.
Well I have my man and kids, but no mum or dad or siblings, they all disowned me for being truthful.
I love music and singing and I make jewellery.
I would love to have a sister. Thankyou.

    Courageous

    You are so brave! And you have a family...all of your fellow poets who have been abused also. We love you and are there for you. The truth is the philosophy of all things and it hurts...but it will also liberate us!
    Your poem is exquisite in it's rawness and vulnerability. It is also well written poetically! All I can say...is good for you, for not enabling the abuse to continue and for removing yourself from it. I know that it took tremendous strength and will-power to do that! It also takes a lot of faith to admit your wants and needs, to show them and most of all, to ask for your wants and needs to be met. You deserve all of this and more!
    And, it is there for you...all you need to do is reach out and take it! Love and hugs...if okay XOXOXO

    What a sad life that you have lived, but have could through without turning hard and heartless. Here you will have a unique and loving family. One that is supportive and loving. Of course not all are that way, but having joined into the family you just have, you will find the best of the best!! Welcome, sister.
