• I was the middle, Soon to be last child
    I learned early that at some point
    Heartbreak
    touches us all
    I held a friend so close
    my arms got
    tired
    and sore
    and he slipped away from me
    I lost my little brother only
    to find he is now my
    guardian angel
    I hold red Tulips in a
    Special place
    In my heart due To their
    Sentimental value

    My first bike ride went well
    Until
    My sister told me I was doing
    Fine on my own
    And I panicked and fell in the wood chips

    I saw my parents divorce that ended
    Me up living with my mom
    And only seeing my dad for
    Holidays and Birthdays
    And occasionally staying the night
    At his house, In Cheyenne
    I once storred a red,
    Cherry
    Gumdrop under my bed
    So long
    It turned black, grew mold
    And tasted like watermelon
    My cat ate the mold on it and
    The next day got hit by a car

    I once called my fat cat a name
    I shouldn’t have and got in a lot
    Of trouble for it
    I saw his big greasy hands
    Pick Bunny Foofoo up and
    Hand him back to me as his
    Ice cold, blue eyes struck fear into
    My heart
    I saw my mom in hospitals so much
    I developed a fear of them
    I used to wish for big things,
    Things bigger then me,
    Only to have them thrown back in my face
    With a laugh, and now I know to just deal
    With what life gives me and cherish the little
    Miracles in life

    Moving as much as I did, no place felt like
    Home, just another house on the road of life
    Schools everywhere were different but by
    2nd grade I was used to it
    I finally felt like I found home but then
    We got kicked out and were back on the
    Road of life
    After we moved again I found what I thought was my
    Sole mate
    Someone I thought I would be together with forever
    Then I moved again and lost touch with him, but
    Met my goofball best friend
    I finally got back in touch with my “sole mate”
    And now life is just another unfair reason for kids
    To tease me
