PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I awaken to noise

It’s a parental fight

They stop as I walk by

Pretending everything is alright



Dad grabs his keys

And a picture hits the floor

He ignores the shatter

As he slams the door



I’ve dealt with too much

I can’t escape this pain

I try to forget

But this has struck a vein



Mom tries to hide

Dad goes into a rage

Everywhere I look

I see my cage



When they argue

My heart gets torn

Never again

This is what I’ve sworn



I’ve seen him hit

I’ve seen her cry

Every time I think

I just want to die



The pain I feel is indescribable

My brain wanders

The solution

My heart ponders



I’ve thought of it before

It would bring my pain to a close

I planned on trying

The next time a fight arose



I had the gun in hand

I was gone

If he stepped through my door

My problem would be done



Happiness is unobtainable

My home is breaking

Due to blind anger

My life it is taking
