your destructive ways i can no longer take
my heart and soul have had enough
broken dreams and too many lies you've told
you say your sorry--but this time im calling your bluff

can't let you rip this family apart
you've done it for so many years
nothing but anger remains inside of me
i'm through with all my tears

you started this game of yours
now the consequences you must pay
you've pushed away all those that love you
i suppose you have to learn the hard way

but never again shall you hurt them
it's time someone stands up to you
and lets you know what you've done is not right
but i wonder if even then you'd have a clue

broken glass bottles
shattered promises you have made
i'm tired of your empty words
and how this family has paid

you deem our father a jerk
a man who has given you it all
showing no respect for mom either
i think its time someone lets you fall

they have not the heart
to tell you just how it's going to be
but now you've met your match in hell
your punishment is me

a sister who still loves you
yes i do with all my heart
but no more are you ripping apart those i love
it's time we all made a new start

so pack your bags and keet moving
you can cry a sea
i'm tired of the pain dear sister
when you can mean what you say...
then u can call me

Aimster, NOW stick to your guns and mean what you say!!  You have taken the first step.  Many times you will start to falter, but don't let it happen.  All will respect you for your stand.  You are strong and getting stronger!  Many hugs,  ME

Ahhh, Amy/Aim, I am so proud of you to see you take a stand for your family and yourself, As you say, enough is enough, and sometimes the plate has to be broken to make sense to one who always eats, then criticizes the cooks..GOOD GOING, now, hold in there and stay strong with the strength you have shown.  If it helps, many of us are behind you to give you added strength of purpose...gentle smile

Amy girl, this was incredible!!  As M_E said, you have taken the first step.  Be strong my friend.  Only someone who cares an awful lot could find the courage to do what must be done.  You know, when I was reading this I felt I was beiong yelled at.  Powerful write.  Hang in there!!  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
