That place with padded walls and funny people in white.........

Do you know what it is
To love a Grandfather?
To kiss his cheek...
Sit on his lap and steal bites of his eggs
Listen to him read Dr. Seuss books to you?

Do you know what it is to hate a Mother?
To want to kill her?
Make her suffer?
And then to regain the love and trust...
and not even know until it's too late?

Do you know what it is to be Daddy's little girl?
Spoiled rotten,
His little princess....
Whatever you wanted was instantly yours.

Do you know how to ruin it all?

Do you know what it's like to be a slave?
And your "Best Friend"
Is the slave driver?
And you do what she says,
Because you're afraid?

Do you know what it's like to run away?
Do you know what it is to truly hate?
Do you know Gramdpa had a heart attack?
After I left.......
Do you know Daddy's done drugs all his life, drank himself sick?
And as he's at death's door, I left him.
Do you know Mom's using money she doesn't have on a detective?
All to find me....

Do you know it's all my fault?

Guilt will eat our hearts out if we let it...Here's hoping you can let the past behind where it belongs and move on towards the future

owl's right of course all females are perfect haha...

but guilt does eat your heart away than fear comes into your soul to drive you on the walls but you have to ask your self one questions and than tell your self one thing that question and that thing is

"am i strong enough? of course i am, no fear no hatred, no broken hearts, no tears,

could keep me away from the rest of my life" my torn up heart flying through the sky

wont stop me the only thing any one ever really needs or wants is some one to love and

eventually you find some one that you can love and that person can love you and

you never shed a tear have hatred or fear in your heart again

and no matter what the cost you never get a broken heart again
remember theres some one for every one.
