Dirty Laundry

CATEGORY

just different

I watched a man put his hands on my mom. I watched my Granny come from the club sloppy drunk. I watched my dad sniff crack right in front of me and my boyfriend. Like that crap is normal. I watched my best friend die in front of me. I blame myself, I shouldn't have let her take those pills. We should have dialed 911, maybe she would have lived. I watched my brother end up in juvenile for something that wasn't true. I watched my cousin tease me for getting molested like it was a type of joke. I watched my uncle pull out his d*ck. Finally I got the courage to tell my dad. What did he do, turn his back. What did his mom do, took up for her kid, a grown a$$ man. But she is known for covering up secrets. I watched my family hurt when I took a bottle of pills. I was ready to go, but God disagreed. I watched my cousin's ex man come through my patio door, destroy my sh^t because of something my cousin did. The next day, she was back by his side. Never did he apologize. I no longer feel safe in my own home. I watched my first love wear an orange jumpsuit not once but twice. I watched him get put in handcuffs the same week of getting out. This is some of my dirty laundry that needed to be aired out!
