Predictions
11 April, 2005
Author: Ben Franklin
When I was 7 years old
my parents used to take me to their local bar,
when I hit 16 I became an alcoholic,
they had left me mentally scarred,
My parents are know longer alive,
they were killed by drink,
deep down they were good people,
just at times they did not think,
I cant moan at them,
as I am an alcoholic too,
always going to the pub to see how many in toxins
I can get through,
My parents would get their drinks
and sit in the corner of the room,
as they sat their in the corner drinking their
rum,
Id be left to roam around like a bum,
I have kids now,
but I cant see them because of restrictions,
Im turning into my
parents,
my own,
and everybodys else's predictions.

| Angel in Tears (81.129.99.85) -- Sunday, April 10 2005, 10:23 pm If its only predictions, that means it doesn’t mean that it has to happen, does it? I can only say that you are the one who can change the prediction into something completely different. And yes I know, easier said then done, but the first step has to be taken, should it not? I have faith that you can. Have faith in yourself that will be your first step. An Angel in Tears,xxx |
