Dis-Joined Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

I hear them yelling at each other every day.
Sometimes I just want to escape and go away.
I can tell you a million places I rather stay.

I worked hard in life because of them.

My situation may not be the best.
I have done so much on my own that I forgot the rest.

I practically raised myself from a young age.
Managed lots on my own from an early stage.

I don't know what love really is like.
I know when I see them smile I have no fright.

I try hard to make it on my own.
One day I will leave them and have it known.

One day I won't have to wake alone,
I'll be in my own home.

One day,
I may not have to dream of being away.
I'll actually ask someone to stay.
