my parents broken

my grandmother

during my parents broken

 

divorce would soothe us

(every day)

broken with her

southern accent,

telling us that it’ll all

 

be okay.

 

my sister

had to stand broken up

and fight for us

broken

fight for our

broken future

 

my brother

broken

hoped that he would keep his father

packed in a house full of

broken girls

 

mom broken

dad broken

stopped fighting

too much

broken to deal with

too much to keep holding

on.

 

i was too broken young

to understand

too young

too dumb

too b

Not gonna lie, there isn't too much to know about me. The way to my heart is Diet Coke and 2008 bops, I love writing and photography, and I will stop every time I see a dog on the street. I would say that's about it?
