Mom & "Dad" I cried every night for you
I prayed to God
I promised she'd be good
Hours later he came through the door a drunken mess
and what did that leaveme with?
more fighting and yelling
I always tried to be good enough
Maybe I could get your approval
I let him break me
and scar me
but over-all destroy me
behind these eyes of mine
I saw his lies
And he promised me
That he would change his ways
and turn around someday
but I am seven years old
How could you do that
to that poor little soul?
here years later
I still don't feel much better
just a shell of my former slef
you really never cared
just kicked me while i was down
I just wish I
would of stood up for myself
I let him break me
and scar me
but over-all destroy me
behind these eyes of mine
I saw his lies
And he promised me
That he would change his ways
and turn around someday
but I am fourteen years old
how could you get someone so low?
Iv been in the place of the
Iv been in the place of the child in this poem. Iv felt that way my entire life, but my dad never once said he would change,
cause he belives nothing he does is wrong. :( sad isnt it? That children get hurt like this on a daily basis, i know how hard it is
to be beat on and beat down day in and day out. Its enough to drive you insane and make you cry till your eyes cant anymore.
It hurts your heart more than anything i think, and then your stuck with the memories of the past, and then your mind is trapped.
Never to forget what was done. But it makes you stronger, I know it has made me stronger. Very good poem, it let alot of emotions out
and was very deep and personal. I related to it. Keep writing cant wait to see more from you, you are very good. Btw what part of FL are you from?
Im from West Palm myself lol :)
