Why does it seem other kids are more fortunate than me?

Parent teacher conference with their family being

Normal

I'm tired of struggle meals

And being told no whenever I want to do something that cost.

And the sounds of bullets outside of our apartment

Why does talks of money anger us so much when we are suppose to love each other?

Just to grow up and want to distance ourselves from our struggle.

As if we never were meant to be.

Mothers that are never protected Dying from stressing

Father's missing or feeling rejected.

What was the ultimate lesson?

Of anger and poverty

And do I have the power to correct it?
