Poem

Always there even if I came late
Mad inside but wouldn’t show the hate
Telling me” Cindy one day you’ll change”
“I hope it’s soon before I walk away”
I don’t want to see her cry
But then again I go outside and get in the ride
She gave me birth and held me close
And that’s why she’s the women I love the most

Poem

It stated at the age of 12
Didn’t care for a single soul
Fighting, drinking, smoking
Can’t stop her now she’s way blown
Doing everything she can feeling grown
No hesitation, no regrets
Is her every day say
The pain and the tears
Won’t make her change her ways
Feeling like giving up on her
But I can’t why? because I love
Her to death

Poem

8 years old
And already fighting for my soul
Scared inside but I couldn’t let go
Every night having to stay up
Waiting and waiting until he knocked on that door
I couldn’t say no, or he would die on his own
My mom far away
Where I couldn’t call her name
Who could I go to, so I can get away
I’m there with my sisters, with no way to escape
Praying and crying so he could change
But I guess my prayers weren’t strong
Because he’s still stumbling down the hall.

Poem: To My Sister

To my sister

Not even words can describe that what your doing is wrong .
I can’t get through you because you say I did it to.
Now you’re out there running around with out a clue.
I can’t make you change, but I can help you be straight.
Don’t follow my example and don’t play my game.

You Have Control over Your Life pg. 18 chapter: Party Time

I chose this quote because, I think its true, I mean if you don’t control what you do, or at least try to, then you’re always going to be getting in trouble or doing things your not suppose to. So when you start to think about bad things, then sit there and think positive, or good things. This quote relates to the book when Brent killed that girl (Lea Rosalia Santos Zamora). If he wouldn’t have been drinking that night, and he would have been on all his six senses, then nothing would have happened. Now he has that guilt in him. So if people think before they act it would be a good thing for them, and people around them. This quote relates to me because, I in the past have acted before thinking, I’ve let my thoughts control me.
