I was standing
(You were there)
Then I fell down
there was no reason
to have fallen
except there was
a snap
I broke my leg
I was standing
then I fell
no one could fathom
how taking one step
could shatter me into pieces
(don't lose your head
it is ok if you die)
the doctor said I would break
bones the rest of my life
17 so far
I might never forgive
a broken promise
(my mother said: 
"You never did know
when to shut your mouth")
Like father
like daughter
my aunt told me
he killed himself
to spite me
My Father was both
David and Goliath
