This one actually isn't about my ex!! I wrote it after a pretty rough fight with the female parental unit *LOL* it sucks, but oh well,I was MAD and needed to vent *LOL* haha

I glare at my contorted expression
I believe the mirror might break
My red-brimmed eyes are swollen
and my mascara trickles and streaks

When will the tears stop running down
I cry far too much, I always frown
If I cry much more I just might drown
In my own hatred for my being...

I feel oh so worthless now
“You’re so annoying, leave me alone”
You treat me like such a child
Your treatments, mom, I can’t condone

When will the tears stop running down
I cry far too much, I always frown
If I cry much more I just might drown
In my own misery and self-pity...

What’s it going to take to live in less pain
To laugh, to smile, to overcome
I hope for a brighter day tomorrow
but the scars are fresh, the damage done

When will the tears stop running down
I cry far too much, I always frown
If I cry much more I just might drown
In my own hopes and neglected wishes...

Who said anything about communism, or suggested her mother was a communist?  I must have missed it...  

Sara - Nice work on the poem, even if it was a bit negative.  I hope you realize that you can talk to me whenever you feel the need, I might be there but busy and pretending I'm away (I do it to everyone, don't feel bad) so if it's important just say "I'd really really like to talk to you, Allan, it's important and you are such an awesome dude and your paradelles are always so cool and I just need your help because it would mean the world to me."
Alright?  Just remember that's our code phrase.

This is a really heartfelt and emotional piece, and you wrote it beautifully.  we all have problems with parents and writing generally helps me vent when they piss me off.  i like this a lot, keep posting all your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

You did a good job expressing feelings that I can definitely relate to.  I fight with my mom alot 2, and I know how it feels.  This sounds like it could be a song.  I like it alot.  Hope things improve for u and your mama.

*LMAO* Thanx for the replies everyone! Alan, Justine said "invasion of the COMMIE MOMMIES" because it's an inside joke with us *L* She calls her mom Hitler and I call mine whatever dictator name comes to mind... Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Castro... it's because our moms are psycho, in our minds, and they barely let us do anything cool *LOL* Hope you understand better now, for those of you who were totally lost   Thanx again everyone!

Such an expressive poem.  Sara, look at it this way, no matter what she'll always be your mom, and one of these days, you'll realize how much her actions in her mind is all for your benefit.  Geez, I'm sounding like my dad now    might as well quit talking

Let me add another "amen" to the chorus of parental problems.  Great poem.

Commie mommies.....none of those here.
Hope things improve!
Good poem!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
