This is my first poem post... i'm sorta scared, but i'm going with the flow and putting down one of my very first poems... hope it's not too bad. I Was Too Young I've seen you get so mad, Get so utterly sad Never liked it when you cried, And hated you when you lied But it seemed like you needed me more than I needed you I was too young to know that I was growing up too soon I just assumed we were a tight family, But then I realized that I was missing a daddy That's when I knew, That I had to be strong just for you You always tried to put the past behind, Would smoke in your room all the time Every night before I went to bed, I could hear those scissors cutting away in my head I was just a little one, I never knew what you might have done I've grown up now, And studied you like peaking through a window You're just as frail as you were before, And perhaps even more Each time you try to bring me down I just remember when I was young and how I was there for you, when dad wasn't around I don't want that responsibility anymore, I don't want to relive the past I've hid before Don't need to walk through the forest When there's no trees In a little way, I'm just like you Won't take anything for granted and managed to always pull it through When you were never around, I always worried about you and stayed up waiting for you to be found In the night you would crawl beside me in my bed, Whisper in my ear about the day you've already had Sometimes you would even cry and be so miserable, And leave the room distraught and full of sorrow I would stay up all night until I heard you finally go to sleep, I was so young to be worried about you deep I was too little to face the things you couldn't do I was too young to know what you were going through But I felt the pain enforced upon you I was just a kid when I knew my destiny I was still watching cartoons, when I knew I had to grow up fast to help my mommy Because I had a missing daddy From that day on I've always felt so sorry For myself, my brother and my mommy We suffered as one small family Someday I'll make it up to her |

This was good it made me cry, I still am. I remember what it was like for me and growing up too soon and having to be there for my mommy, not because my dad was gone, but because he wouldnt leave. |
