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/

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
