I Remember (poem)

I remember the days when my father would hit me in the head and tell me I was stupid,

I remember the day when my dreams died forever,

I remember the day when my mother turned her back on me,

I remember the day when I realized I may never fall in love,

I remember the day when my brother striked me in the face with his fist,

I remember the day when I realized blood was never thicker than water,

I remember the day I cried alone in Kentucky,

I remember the day when I learned I could trust no one,

I remember the day when my mother wouldn't let me come home,

I remember the day when I was stranded alone in the streets,

I remember the days when my father called me a n*gga,

I remember the day when a friend stabbed me in the back

I remember the day when someone told me I wasn't beautiful,

I remember the day when I felt my heart break,

I remember the day when part of my soul died...So many days....

I remember the day when....I remember the day when...

Tell me why do I remember all the wrong days?...
