Prologue

One of the too many people

One of zero

Hating myself with the same amount of passion 

As my own writings

And apparently my father and step-mother

Too

16 years of lies

They never loved me

Just used me

Against the only people who did

This child unknowingly clanged to a father 

Who wanted to give up custody 

So that he didn't have to pay child support

A step-mother laughed in my mother's face 

When I was so young that I didn't remember her

They broke the heart of a mother

Taking her children 

Beating some and yelling at the rest    

My older siblings knew better and left

They tried to take me too

But I was too young to understand

And now I'm older

I really hope you are coping well. I have some problems with my parents/family when I was younger, and I can imagine the pain and suffering we had to go through. Be strong, Sammie.

Your poem is simple and to the point, but filled with meaningful events and emotions. Thank you for sharing this!

I hope this helps
