Family Troubles
-----
Take it into your mind

All at once

Take your time



Your father just left

Your newly pregnant mother

And still you seem to hover

But she won't confess



You are old

Only twelve years

With a family of eight

Excluding your father

Who you hate

You are old enough for tears



The doctor just called

And your mother has been out

It appears she is in the hospital

Or so you hear him shout



"She overdosed on heroine"

The doctor says to you

Being the oldest sibling

And your life is narrowing

Everything remains true



"She died this morning."

Click.

Dang...awesome ending. I liked how it flowed itself in reality.
