There’s a thought in my head, of what I've learned
My family’s secrets of a wayward and dark past
The danger I face is not to my life, it is more destructive
Crying at night because of the old man who is coming- the last

Yes he is old, but his past and mind are corrupt
You come- yet before my sisters and I were nothing to you
But I see through you now, you want new warm flesh
Mother knows, but father would be destroyed by the hurt he once knew

Done before by your hand, I expect Grammy knows too
She's just as sick though, and comes as well- not to dote upon me
Children of your least favorite child, you don't deceive
There's more to this visit, my mother knows best and sees

As my father’s father- you sicken me to the core
I know can see your true intentions they are appalling deeds
Leave us alone- we were just fine without you and your sick mind
You can go away and never return- what everyone needs

My doors will be locked, but that I won't ever tell you
I believe I could take you completely in a horrible fight
The knowledge that this has happened shocked me to death
What my mother's mother told her has made my life full of fright

I was once innocent and completely naive
Now you no longer have me fooled and deceived


"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it
everyday."

THis the flow is really off. Try changing all the inverted phrases to make sense grammar wise. That really throws it off. ANd its full of inverted rhymes too. Makes it harder to understand

Theres a thought in my head, of what I just learned
                                             ,of what I've learned

My families secrets of a past that is dark
My families secrets of a dark past.

The danger I face is not to my life, it is more awful
try a better adejective instead of AWFUl

Crying at night beacuse of the old man who is coming, it hurts my heart

Yes he's old, but his past and mind are corrupt

You come- yet before I and my sisters were dirt
                   yet before my sisters and I were dirt
Use more descriptive adjectives

But I see through you now, you want new warm flesh
Mother knows, but father would be destroyed by the hurt
Those two lines did not make sense to me.

Done before by your hand, I expect Grammy knows too
She's just as sick though, and comes as well- not to dote upon me
Children of your least favorite child, you don't decive
There's more to this vist, my  mother knows best and sees

My doors will be locked, that I won't tell you
I believe I could take you, with a horrible fight
The knowledge that this has happened shocked me to death
What my mother's mother told her has made my life full of fright

I was once innocent and completly niave
Now you no longer have me fooled and decived  

I am really confused.. Try making it less complicated. You use to many different ideas and you don't really explain them. So I don't have any concept of how they relate to each other.

okay i think the things i added will help you see. it's just a little hard for me to tell everyone these things right out because of the hurt it beings. so i riddle it untill it makes no sense. thankyou for your insight.

here or in the poem?

it gives you the reason earlier in the poem- "What my mother's mother told her has made my life full of fright"

my mother then told me. and my next sister.
he (my grandfather on my father's side) is corrupt. my grandmother (on my mother's side, the other grandmother i have is strange too- i'd rather not talk about her) knows things and she told my mother that she felt he had done bad things to his daughters. my aunts. and perhapps my father as well.it scares me. alot. it's just messed up. the real world is harsh.
