Before I was Born

Basically, a summary of what I learned about my family the other day. My family is really corrupted.

I am sorry I was born.

I am sorry for the way I was raised.

We all have a different mom,

But we were all raised by mine.

 

I am sorry I was such a brat back then.

I am sorry I got what ever I wanted.

I understand now life is difficult,

For everyone.

 

No I do not have asthma.

No my mother did not die.

I am sorry you were depressed.

But I did not say any of this.

 

Crying, smoking, beating.

You and you and you,

All have done it.

Now you can talk to me.

 

I am older now.

The same age when you all

Began to die a little.

Tomorrow is another day,

And I undersand.

Frist of all you don't suck at poetry, this is a well crafted poem, and a definite pleasure to read. Don't ever give up. Just always be you.

I think it's an amazing piece of poetry, sorry to differ with your "Author's Note"! The third verse is very, very effective and so is the poem as a whole. The italics are also a thing to be credited. a very good poem.

I like how you emphasize certain words by italicizing them. Finding out about certain things your family has done/experienced that you never knew before for whatever reasons (in particular, mine was age), can be quite surprising.
