You say you're to tired,
to listen to me today.
You say you get so mad sometimes,
and make me go away.
But Mommy why do you,
have those scratches on your arm?
And why do you defend me,
and put yourself in harm?
You say Daddy had to,
go away for a while.
Aunt Cici says that,
he's waiting for a trial.
But Mommy why do you,
cry at night?
You say you miss daddy,
but he filled you with fright.
You say he'd come back,
if he could.
And you can't get away,
though you know you should.
But mommy if he hurts you,
then why don't we leave?
And how do you know,
that he won't hurt me?

Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.

I dream about how it's gonna end
Approaching me quickly
Living a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear...

That's REALLY good... And it's good that you can share that...
I hope you're ok... It sounds pretty bad
We're all here for ya... And it might not have happened to me...
But it happened to one of my sisters... and her kid...
So I sorta know...

Allysa~~~I give you props for writing this...

But mommy if he hurts you,
then why don't we leave?
And how do you know,
that he won't hurt me?

Are you talking about abuse???I feel what you are going through if you are...I have been there before with my mom and dad...And you said in the last line about him hurting you...My mom assumed that since he hit her when he would get drunk he would hit us...Never has my dad laid a finger on one of us...

Well keep up the good work...If you ever want to talk my e~mail is posted above!!!

Hey all! Thanks for replying. Umm well, this isn't about me this time, it's about some ppl I know not very well, and all that. My family is just peachy, all we ever do is yell, and I read something like this and decided to try and write one of my own. (I mean, what else is there to do during Sceince class?)
So don't get to concerend. They ppl are over it now. They you used to have an "attitude adjuster" but it's gone, well, bye. Allysa

I liked, It is sad, but I liked. I have a poem called "A lesson unlearned" that is similar...If you'd like to read it, I suggest you do so, it is one of my better ones (at least I think so)You might have to hunt it down though...Keep it up, I can't wait to read more.
