Out Of Whack

By rondant

You brought that bottle home in a paper sack
I knew right then there was no turning back
I looked around at our little shack
For half a roof did it lack
This is just like before when you were hooked on crack
You yell at me and gave me a smack
Just look at my face, it's already turning black
This is my life, crazy and out of whack






Life is funny with it's twist and turns, you know?
My childhood was awful, but now I've been through so much...I wouldn't changed a thing. It made me the person I am today. I'm a little crazy sometimes, but if you think about it who isnt? And if any of you are wondering, my moms a great person..She was on drugs so bad, but when i came home with jet black hair she realized that i was going to be just like her. She instantly changed her life...we went to church, meetings, and was a true family. Today she is an electronic tech for John Deer. And I love her very much.

    Yeah, live is all too funny sometimes. I hate that, but there isn't much you can do about it but live your life. Very excellent job on this one.
