Shattered Pieces, Cheap Liquor, and Broken Homes

Check list of me;

Shattered Pieces - check
  I'm in tatters.
  Split ends, blocked pores and bags under my eyes.
[There are other broken pieces inside, but they're for me to hide.]


Cheap Liquor - no check
  I never was one for booze,
  My drug of choice was users and abusers
  I always loved the high they gave me
  Right before they caused me to
  CRASH
  back    down
          to
  earth.


Broken Home - check
  But only my siblings;
  They're never around when it matters.

  My father doesn't care
  He contacted me for the first time in eight years!
  He wanted to find out if legally he still had to give my mother money.
  I refused to answer the letter;
  It was addressed to 'Michelle Ryan'
and no one by that name lives in my house
  I am  Michelle O'Connor

Isn't it strange that his letter didn't shock me?
  I was angry, don't get me wrong,
  but in the end he is one sad little man,
claiming me as his by calling me 'Ryan'
yet whenever he contacts my mother he disowns her as she is
'O'Connor'

I think he thinks he's being smart.
  Poor little man,
I have nothing but pity for

  Mr. Liam Ryan

Ehm.... o.O
this took an entirely different route to what I imagined it would.

I'm really sorry if you don't like it.
I'll understand if you feel the need to DQ it

Sorry again

=[
