Where I Am From

I am from a broken home...
Waking up to my parents fighting,
Answering lawyer's questions about them,
And moving clothes, toys, and possessions....
In reality, I am from two homes.

Two homes means two sets of rules, two different beds, two sets of friends, two completely different parents,
which leads to two completely different lives.

On my Dad's side, I am From
A nice house, a nice car, a nice boat, and a nice neighborhood.
I can also say I am from
Having a boat repossed,
And being evicted from a home,
A home that held so many memories in its walls.
All the luxury I has ever known, gone...
I am From a Dad without faith,
Who spends too much, and saves too little.

On my Mom's side, I am from
An okay house, an okay car, and an okay life.
I can also say I am from coupons, sales, and.
Clearance rack clothes.
I can say I am from a Mom
Who has taught me how to save money wisely,
And how to act respectful and kind.
but even with that, I've fallen behind.

But keep this in mind...
Its not okay to be from a divorced family.
Where peace is something
I can never find.

Where I am from
Is not who I want to be.
Lastly, where I am from
Is not something I want people to see.
