Unwanted, but breathing.
In the next room, sleeping.

When I wake up in the morning it all feels like a bad dream,

one that follows you and haunts you endlessly.

Broken and beaten from the abuse and the cheating,

the addiction, and the lying, and the promise of leaving.

While my old man was a bastard, I admired and loved him.

And Us two kids were born in to a family, not a fortune.
