I am Gilbert Grape

I am Gilbert Grape. I have nothing to look forward too, and nobody to turn to, because I am Gilbert Grape.

Because I am Gilbert Grape, people expect me to live for them, and not for me. I work all day and night, trying to keep things right, because I am Gilbert Grape.

Being Gilbert Grape is hard. I take care of the house and yard, and work at the store and do the chores, because I am Gilbert Grape.

My family as Gilbert Grape, is special, each one expecting me to deal with their own special needs. My brother is ill, my mom is dying , and my sisters don't care, because I am Gilbert Grape.

Gilbert Grape. That's who I am. I have no father, or a future. I don't bother with schooling, and living the way I want to live isn't going to happen, because I am Gilbert Grape.
