I am gone!!!

I can't do it any more!
Nine years is long enough!
I am tired of being alone all the time!
I am tired of doing all the work.

I am stuck in my house, all week.
Taking care of 10 horses that aren't mine!
Three chickens, Two dogs, four cats,
like twelve gold fish, and fifteen rabbits!
One horse is mine, I don't mind taking care of.
But I have only had him for three months!

I wanted to move out when I turned eighteen.
But I couldn't. I was needed.
I am always here for those that need me.
But I need to get away, before I go insane!
Crazy I am already, from being lonely to long.
My mom is home once a week, sometimes.
My unkle comes on some weekends, with his daughter.

But then I have to clean,
up theirs messes after they leave.
Or get yelled at for not doing it!
This is my life. It sucks.
I can't follow my dreams to help people,
cause I am helping someone.
I can't go to collage.

For I have no licence.
Therefore no car.
Therefore no transportation.
I must get out on my own.
I must get out to have a life.
But I can't leave when someone who needs me...

Author notes

This is the sad truth. My mom works 68 miles(one way) away for my house. Her car is a piece of shit that won't make it up the hill, so she must stay at my grand parents down the hill. Only coming home on her two days. If she can get a ride up the hill.
My house is five miles away from any store or friends.Life sucks for me rite now, but I know there are people out there that have it worse than I do.

    I have an older brother and older sister, one younger sister, and 11 younger brothers. My parents had problems, creating them to basically retreat from life and make me the mom. My older siblings are gone, so I was alone and it was hard. My car can only hold another 4 people, yet I have 12 people to drive around. It sucks and I can really relate to what you're saying in this. Strong write.

    Warmest,

    I'm really sorry that this is the situation that you have to live in, it sounds really tough, but outlets such as poetry are really good for getting all of that emotion out. This piece had so much in it, and the intensity was striking. Thanks for your entry, and I hope things look up for you in the future.
