"Child of Addiction / deep"
  by PoeticCONViCT


She` s the one who bore mee .
put me into this worldd
she` s thee onee who alway` s said
forever i was mommy` s lil qirl.
She` s the one who stayed out all niqht && never called to check on mee
thee onee who said "what i do is myy business i` m your mother just let me bee"
she` s the one who sold my virginity for a hit .
yes, one lousyy hit.
the one who said you` ll be just like your daddy
yeah he ain` t shit...
she` s the one who left mee in the house with all her crack head men
already havinq to bare with thee pain she forced mee into her world of sinn !
she` s the one in thee kitchen stickinq the needle in her arm
likee she didnt notice she was doinq mee such harm !

I ` m the one who had to qive up my childhood
i` m the one who had to cry every night as she sat there feinin like it was all qood
I` m the one who made sure she was in bed && atee
i` m the one who had to give it up on HER first dateee
just so she could get a lousyy hit
just one hit .. is that what i was worth mommy .. one hit?
my daddy has his own family && business yet he` s not shit ?
i` m the one who dragged you out the crack house sayin "dont cry it will be okay"
&& makin that my natural routinee .. doinq thee same super hero shit
EVERYDAY..
i` m thee one who watched yu slowly take your own lifee
i` m the one who had to hold onto all this anger && strifee
Thouqh you said it was your business that i should have stayed in a child` s placee
i` m the one who had to go to school with kid` s sayinq my mom was a hoe, a crack head ... yah mom i bet you ain` t have a clue all the shit i had to facee

i` m free to the world but with you i had to deal with convictionn..
for i ammm the child of addiction
*tell me what you think*

I see that you put a lot of emotion into this, when we put our tears on paper we open our selves up to the world, and you did a wonderful job. you are very talented, keep it up. 1
