Carefree
Angel Romero-DiVenuti 1989 (Norfolk, VA)
I saw some kids at the park today.
They were so happy and carefree.
I wish that could be me.
Stressed and depressed,
nowhere to go to call "home".
The people I thought would always be there for me
turned their backs on me.
My family, they ain't shit.
Honestly, I want to put a "hit"
on them.
Life would be better that way
for me and the world.
About this poem
I wrote this poem when I was homeless due to my adoptive family kicking me out of their house. I felt so helpless and hopeless at the time, but I never gave up.
