This Motel Room
I’m in this motel room thinking
momma's in the other room drinking
I’m wondering why we are living like this
11 years old and pissed
I’m about to blow my brains out and momma thinks I am crazy
young and restless, but that's how life portrays me
I cant take it
too damn young, to feel I wont make it
the hope is lost for me and I am scared
running away from home, thinking momma never cared
I’m tossing and turning
dreams of a better life...I’m yearning
is this what life is about?
a child, trying to figure life out
eyes watch over my little sister and brother
 embracing when those times got tougher
family struggles so evident
a family cursed like it was meant
a young child is crying
tears fall, hoping he was dying
I blame my father for my issues
lifelong drama that continues
a lost child without guidance
in a place filled with violence
young man....with a new destiny
visions of me in the penitentiary
hope for a child that ended to soon
in this motel room!

Hi Morris, I liked your Motel Room poem it was very poetic and relatable. Keep up the good work.
Keisha- I write hoping that someone will be able to relate. my greatest joy is hearing or knowing that and it is my motivation to keep working at it. thanks for your comment on this piece.
good write x
Thank you Susan :)
This write grabs at the gut and twists painfully.  This is more than a mood or tone...this write reflects a desolation, a blugeoning of a child's innocence, a child's safety and a child's soul.  Suicide is a way to escape an environment that has become intolerable and for a child to contemplate such as action is terrible.  ve

Your words paint a picture of despair and sadness. I feel for anyone in this situation. Sad that one must live not having someone to look up to and learn from! Parents don't take the time to really teach their children and to pay attention to them. Lots of emotion in this write and I hope that life will turn around for this family! Good job, The Shaker
