Broken Home Poem by Theorem The Truth Serum

Broken Home

Rating: 5.0


One boy torn from his parents
As they rip themselves apart
By the will of his mother
His father
He respects
But his mother
He has no respect for
After limber legs aged like wine
Open up because of loose ends
Broken and shattered
Was their American dream
But she presses on
Just because she wants
To taste the American dream once again
Meanwhile
Her son loses his grasp on reality
And creates his own dreams
With the use of lies and deception
Goes here and there to find himself
But he doesn't
Not for a long long time
His father
Broken and dreamless
Struggles to stay alive
But soon dies
Of a broken and lonely heart
The mother
Remarries and erases her troubled past
Pulls the curtain to cover the window to it
That lays in her mind
She lives on normally
And somewhat happy
The son
Lives on and finds himself
He has learned that he is quite smart
And lives out his days the happiest of all
These are some truths of a broken home

You've described divorce perfectly. Having gone through it as a child too, I thought this poem was very good. Sincerely, Mary
