I agree, yes it is difficult to be happy when your family is screwed up. If all your family does is fight all that going to do is teach the kids that there family is unhappy. How can you be happy when the ones you love are unhappy? I know there is unhappiness in every family, but it’s harder when all your family does is fight. My family is always fighting each other either it’s my mom and brother fighting, or me and my mom, or me and my brother. We are all usually fighting over money, chores, and going places. We love each other we just don’t get along all the time. It’s hard to be happy when im around them because it’s like all we seem to do is fight. I find myself always out of the house, and away from my family because it’s the easiest way for me to be happy, and there are those rare moments when we all get along. I do believe that it’s hard to be happy all the time because every family has there ups and downs, but I just grin and try my best.

Okay I agree a lot with this statement. I personally know some parents that try to relive their lives through their children. I’ve mostly seen it in sports. Father didn’t get to be the star football quarter back on the varsity football team, so he lives his dream through his son. A lot of the time the child doesn’t want to, but doesn’t want to disappoint their fathers, so they do it. And they never really get to live their dream. In a way in my family we have had a couple situations like this. When my mom was in high school my mom really wanted to be a cheerleader, but never got the chance because her mother wouldn’t allow her to. So ever sense I have been able to walk my mom has been putting me in gymnastics. And then when I was of age I was put into cheer. A lot of it was that I wanted to but now that I don’t really want to she is getting all bitchy about it. Like she wants me to do it more than anything, over hanging out with friends, school.

I think sometimes now what's better for their daughters because some mothers don't care about them and end up just messing up their lives, Ex: Like my mom she wanted the best for me, but I ended up being pregnant, when they were planning for my 15th birthday they had to cancel everything, she wanted me to graduate soon from high school but I'm not I missed all 9th grade. My mom wants me to have whole custody of my son, having my own apartment, she just wants the best for me. I'm going to show my mom that I' am going to be happy I'm getting my sons custody at the end of this month and by the end of June ill have my own apartment.
I think that its difficult when parents screwed up. My mom left to Mexico because she taught that the state would send us but they ended up not, she ended up loosing our custody me and my younger brother that are in foster care. They said she was irresponsible but she wasn't she always had food for us and anything we needed it was the states fault that she lost our custody. But know I'm happy because I'm going to be in my own apartment and have my son with me, and having support form people that love me. I'm going to graduate from 11th grade and be working to support my family.

I don’t think many parents try to relive their own lives through their children I strongly disagree because were I’m from its not like that my culture they would not approve it because a lot of my family are from Mexico and they lived in a pueblo a little village and they didn’t have electricity or running water and I know a lot of my uncles and ants didn’t have what we have now electricity, water, cars and education and for my family education is a big thing for them because if they had education there lives would f been better that’s why our Hispanic culture that’s why they came to America and make our lives better so I don’t think my parents would relive there live s through their children because the only thing they try to do is to make life better for us and just wants better for our future but in a way I they do try to relive their lives through their children because they didn’t have what we have now so in a way that also makes it that they do want to relive our lives but I think that’s from my point of view.

Sports

Sports playing games
And competing with others
And always trying to win a game
and get money for a game
and traveling every were
visiting new places going to Cancun
and resting and waiting for a new game to come
always exercising so keeping in shape
so you don’t gain weight always making money
always working together in a game
so you succeed and win and always trying your best.

Teary Eyes

Teary eyes filled with tears,
Why curse me with appearance?
Is it cause I have no home.
Is it cause they’re leaving me so.
Or is it cause that cursed road?
Teary eyes filled with tears.
Please hide til the night.
A quiet night full of silence.
Nothing to do but stare into darkness.
Alone and sad I’ll ever be.
Sob sob tear tear.
Dropping dripping hot tears roll.
Talk about killing a sole.

Can you see me?
Can you hear my plea?
Can you help?
Can you be there?
Can you be honest to me?
Can you understand?
Can you tell me how?
Can you tell me why?
Can you be honest?
Can you be trusted?
Can you be my hero?
Can you be trustworthy?
Can you be my hope?
Can you tell me everything is going to be okay?
Can you help me be me?
Can you help my life?
Can you listen to my story?
keep me from being lonely?Can you

Every time I would look into your eyes it was like getting lost in the sea of “Love”
Your smile would brighten up my life
know that your away makes me brake down but our little one is the one that lifts me up
Know that you're away it causes me pain you cant away from me I don’t feel whole
When your gone its like I forgot to smile
I don’t want to be with out you for one second
I don’t know I just feel so lonely but baby don’t worry ill still be here worring about you
I will always love you baby and im going to wait for you no matter what if your behind that fence I will be here with our son waiting till your out of that cell, you are my northern star and my everything with out you im nothing you have me 4 ever & always

Always knowing you you’ll be my girl.

KIMBALL

I hear you say you love me so
I hear you tell me you care
I see you smiling at me
I see you run your fingers through my hair

I feel your arms around me
I feel you here right now
But I know in a while you’ll get board
And ill be here asking me how

How could I believe you?
How did I fall for your tricks?
Now im here alone, I saw it coming
Now my life is a game of pickup sticks

I loved you, now I know the truth
I was your sick new game
I was your plan
For instant fame

Thanks, I needed the wake up call
…… I can honestly live a real life now
