He yells at me
'you worhtless nothing!'
I yell back
wiping at the spit upon my face
he raises his hand
his eyes burnin like hell
and i run
out the back
down the street
i stop
the darkness engulfing me
I shiver
lost, all alone
falling on my knees
head hanging down
tears burning, dripping on the ground
i yell to my soul
'why do i try?'
its not worth it
no matter what  ill never please you
in your eyes
ill always do wrong
marry wrong..
go the wrong way..
be the wrong person..
i turn my head
and see the eyes
burning of fire and wrath
And i run...........

Hmmm...about a father perhaps? Or a boyfriend? Or to delve a bit deeper...possibly more of a mental state caused by never being able to be up to par for something...never fitting in, being on the outskirts of your family, academic troubles...this could be about anything. I like that it's kind of vague...because even tho it says that ...he hits you... it might not be literal. Nice work.

This does read a lot like a father figure. I don't like what it is implying.  
The emotion is quite strong and I could really picture you sitting on the ground, crying. It's not a good position to be in and if this is literally, I hope you find a way to get out.

Take care of yourself, alright? *hugs*

Yea its about my dad.
we got in a fight the other night and i ran out..he doesnt hit me, the part about him raising his hand to me isnt meant to be that way, its like he raises his hands when he yells..like he talks with his hands..yuh know?
and his eyes bugle out of his head and he turns beat red...

You okay? I know what it's like and everything...
I usually get in trouble for being a smart mouth....
Anyways, who's Joshua Daniel Anderson???
very curious.... very curious....

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.

You know, never run from anything
You must confront whatever is laid in front of you
May it be easy or a very hard situation
This will help you develop to be a better person
So, wipe the tears away, and be proud of who you are

là où est mon amour?
donde está mi amour?
wo ist meine Liebe?
