You say you listen    so why don’t you hear?
You say you’ve been there      so why can’t you see?
You say you care so much    yet you’re never near,
You say you understand     but you don’t know me.
You stopped caring    because you hate what I became,
And I gave up    because you refuse to accept.
Now I’m your problem    and you’re my bane,
And all I do    is reminisce and regret.
I regret being born
I regret every single day
I regret being torn
I regret each word I say
I hate being here
Disgusted to be
I hate this fear
Because you made me regret being me.

i'd like to think that i'm reading between the lines correctly...
i feel this a great deal. only existing to be blamed for things or be someone's punching bag or whatever.  and you can only hear so much of this kinda stuff before you start to believe it.

well it ain't true, expecially if the passion behind your writing is anything to go by.your spirit isn't broken yet...tuck it away, nuture it, and don't let anyone tell you what you're worth.
you figure it out.
good writing. charged with feeling.

Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin to atone for.

I liked this poem alot, and I definitely felt like I could relate to what you were saying.  I wrote a poem similar to this one called "Mistake", that I might just post after reading yours.  Anyways, I hope that you can talk to your parents and straighten things out with them.  And, if not, don't let them dictate how you feel. Hang in there...
