There I was,
In the darkness,
The dark and gloomy place
That was my home.

I used to be in the light,
Somewhere warm and cosy,
Until I had enough
And decided to fight

I wasn’t going to stay there,
Somewhere I wasn’t loved,
I hated the feeling
They often caused

I was ignored,
I didn’t exist to them,
Living in the shadow
Of the perfect brother and sister

I will never exist to them,
Only in my mind
I wasn’t and never will be
One of their kind

I used to feel love
Now I feel numb
I feel no anger, only pain
I was tired of being made to feel dumb

So I left that place
With nowhere to go
No friendly face
To help me out

So I sit here,
In the cold
Thinking of my family
Wishing I was at home

Instead I am here,
In this doorway, All alone
I am safe nowhere
My only danger is myself

From myself,
There is only one way
I can escape
This will be my end

Welcome to Passions! Your new home away from home. A wonderful network of caring and supportive kindred spirits who love reading and writing poetry.

This poem really tugged at my heartstrings...
Writing poetry can be so cathartic--and can often give us a better perspective on life. Keep on writing to gain insights into yourself and others and what you would like to do with your life.

Warm welcoming hugs,
Earth Angel

This hits home for me....

I will never exist to them,
Only in my mind
I wasn’t and never will be
One of their kind

A nice read. Thank you!

Hi P.R.C.

This poetry reflects sadness and something I myself went through, but if some how you can look passed in to the future and with time passing wisdom will become a part of growth and give these feeling's less hold on you. I do look forward to more of your writing and welcome to Passions.
