Garage Sales and Gossip

Went to some garage sales
Got two cds, pig calendar, calculator, pacman glass
And a note book
I also got some information about my family from a long time friend
This person knew my mom and dad before I was adopted
My brother swore at my mom when he was little
My nephew was mad at my sister
My mom let my brother and sister do anything
While getting on me for the smallest things
My other nephew doesn't have to work because mom lets him
His mother had another baby she wouldn't take of
She felt bad for my dad when mom made him sell his house
For a house that was way more expensive and in need of repair
It's nice to get another perspective
To let you know you're not the crazy one
Because some people are good at making you think you are

About this poem:
This information about my family wasn't pleasant to hear, woke me up this morning along with the daily dread of going to a bad job. At least the friend said I was a good kid.

MacRad,
I've called out also
that intra-family competition
sibling and cousin rivalry stuff
who the model darlings shall be
and who eventually gets the tag
of baa-baa black sheep
once the roles are assigned
acceptance is the only sanity

Mcradloff - you have done well for having come from the background you have. They say we can pick our friends but not our relatives. But think about it - in a way you have a family here in CS poetry section. Have you ever thought about searching for your biological mother and/or your biological father through DNA/
