First off I'd just like to say a huge thank you to all the poets here on PIP that have read my work over the year that i have been here... This i believe is my saddest poem yet.. I'm still crying now after reading it again, maybe that because it means a lot to me... I don't expect you all to feel pity for me.. feel what you like.. I would also like to say sorry to the mods for me being stubborn over the past few weeks... i guess we all get a bit pig-headed at times... Anyway onto the poem.. Hope You All Enjoy...


The Day I Am Enlightened


Why do you keep doing these things I have no idea,
I love you with my entire heart but I get scared whenever you are near
It’s like I know you’re waiting to strike at me with all your strength and might
Waiting to grab at my arms and firmly hold them tight
I’m crying my heart out, searching for a cure
I used to think you’d never hurt me but now I’m not so sure

I sit here hoping that your anger will fade away into the night
But I know it won’t be going anywhere and nobody can help me escape this fright
You’re so strong and so immature and I pray that you will stop
Stop this anger and control yourself before in hell you make me rot
I listen to my heart hoping there is a conclusion to this situation
But I know deep down you won’t lower your guard and destroy your reputation

Mum is slowly dying, a few years they say
But you don’t really care as long as you get your own way
Please don’t hurt me I need to stay with her forever
I can’t let her go I love her too much and we need to get through this together
Dad can’t handle you anymore you stand over us all
A thirteen year old boy who is over 6 feet tall
I’m your big sister and I’m too scared to say boo
I know you don’t want to hurt us, well at least I don’t think you do

Tonight I lower my head and pray
That we will find a cure and mum can stay
I know life wasn’t made to be easy but maybe it is fate
First mum is sick and now you’re acting out and this is what I hate
I hate waking up being afraid today’s the day you hit me
The day when life gets hard for you and anger is all you see

Somebody please help me I’m so frightened
I’m scared that this will be the day in which I am enlightened
The day that I fall victim to the brother I love the most
For he is slowly killing me and I know that I’m toast

honey you need to tell someone there what is going on in your family, in your life...your brother needs to get help. He needs someone to talk to, and so do you. I'm so sorry for all that you are going through. Please tell someone there that can help you...

if you EVER need to talk about any of this please let me know!
[you could email me at buttercupbaby14@gmail.com i guess..] because i really do care about you! I know you must be going through an extremely hard time, ive dealt with people like this through my life b/c i know numerous families and part of my family that gets foster/adoption kids all the time..and it just kills me to know that people go through this.
If you EVER want to get help for your brother[which i must say is the right thing to do, you could be in serious danger and he needs you to care enough to get help..] you could either dial your operator or go to the phone book and look up help lines, or teenhelp lines..they are there ive done it before..its the hardest thing you will ever have to do, unless you don't do it.

I must say this is an amazing poem though..i could just see the tears and pain you were feeling..you really put your whole heart and soul into this, i must commend you for that..it was breathtakingly good but painful for the reader and most defiantly you...

i will keep you in my prayers RIM...know that we do care about you here!
love,<><

Well, I know by now this may sound a bit redundant, but if you need to talk I've always got time (WaterFairy103@gmail.com).  Very nicely written, and though I'm sorry about it I love the emotion.  Good job, and don't be afraid to ask for help!

Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like nobody's listening,
and Live like it's heaven on Earth.

Jess, its allready been said but i may only be thirteen and you may be alot older than i am. but i'm still here every day or night and every moment i talk to anyone here on pip. i feel like i have family.  you. were the first to greet me when i was alone and a newbie poetry writer,i still am and never will compare to what you can write and have written. you are my big sister. maybe not genetically but you act like it and i look up to you everyday and i am protected.    i know how they say older people are wiser...and thats true cuz ur very wise!  but look at the  newbies.   we got help too.  from the bottom of my heart, i love you jess!   and i hope to see that this is over and done with soon.        

love,
keagan

If its at its worst don't stop believing, because I'm right here and I'm not leaving

A very emotional piece, something that both writer and reader can feel instantly.

Critique aside, i hope your situation improves, you have talent and deserve to feel appreciated by your brother and secure in yourself.
