You Don't Know Struggle

three spoons, two beds

one room, five heads

fights with the termites, shared the lights

with the rodents

awakening knowing grocery could've

been potent

toes were like tongues to my shoes

ridiculously overused

the school house laughs and mental abuse

the shame and

the insults that came with my name

backs rubbed from all us sitting in one tub

sharing the neighbors hose

blowing our nose over and over

on the same clothes

taking turns, eating out the same bowls

flushing the toilet with buckets

fighting amongst each other, daily ruckus

might not had much in that time

but through it all it was

love and prayer that kept us fine!
