LIES HAVE TORN YET ANOTHER FAMILY APART
DECEIT CAN TRULY STOP A STRONG BEATING HEART
IF ONE MEMBER SHOULD FALL
WE SHOULD ALL SOON FOLLOW WITH OUT STALL
WHAT BINDED US TOGETHER
SHALL NOW BE REMEMBERANCE OF SOMETHING THAT WILL HAUNT US FOREVER
THIS WORLD IS NOT HAPPILY EVER AFTER SO GIVE ME PITY FOR MY PRIDE
THE MOMENT WATER RUNS THICKER THAN BLOOD WE HAVE ALL DIED AND TO THE LORD CRIED
TO PLAY ALONG AND NOT TO TURN AWAY
TRULY SHOWS I HAVE SOMETHING SO I WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON MY KNEES AND PRAY
WHEN THEY TRUN THERE BACKS PEOPLE YOU THINK YOU CAN TRUST
IT LEAVES YOU FEELING AS IF YOU ARE DEAD ASHES TO ASHES AND DUST TO DUST
FAMILY IS NOT AS STRONG OF A WORD AS ITS MADE OUT TO BE OR SEEMS
AND WHOEVER MADE IT SEEM THAT WAY BASED IT ON HOPES AND DREAMS
BUT TO RUN AND HIDE
LEAVING ME ALONE WITH NO ONE IN WHICH TO CONFIDE
BUT I HAVE TO SET AN EXAMPLE SO I SHALL KEEP MY WORDS TO MYSELF FOR THE FAMILYS SAKE
AND LET YOUR LIES SLITHER THROUGH THE FAMILY AS IF YOU ARE A SNAKE
WANTING REVEGE BUT KNOWING WHAT IT HOLDS RAISED ON THE QUOTE BEAT THE CHILD AND SPARE THE ROD
BUT I SHALL HOLD MY FIST FOR IT SHOULD MAKE ME A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU AND IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN THAT THY PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE AND THY GOD MY GOD
IF I LIVE MY LIFE BY THIS I WILL BE SUCESSUFUL IN ALL I DO
AND EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE MY FAMILY I CAN NOT RESPECT ANY OF YOU

!!!SORRY GUYS I WAS IN A HURRY BUT I HOPE YOU GET THE IDEA!!!

hey, I know how you feel with this one. It's hard when you can't even trust your own family. I hope your situation gets better.
luv. Jen

oh and BTW I thought having the whole poem in all caps was really distracting. I had a hard time reading the whole thing without getting lost...the words themselves were good though.

l know exactly how you feel, living with a family that lies or whatever is one of the hardest things you can go through, but... soemtimes you just have to think 'bite me' and do what your instincts say.
as for respect, if they don't earn it, don't give it to them - if they had it and lost it, make em work twice as hard to gain it back,....

Wow.. while I have had my fair share of family problems, I can't even begin to imagine how you might feel. This is definitely a tough and hurtful situation. Hang in there...

Wonderful write. I enjoyed it... you put a lot of yourself into it, and that often makes poetry real poetry. Thanks for sharing.

Hang in there, it gets better, trust me. I know how you feel. You did a good job of conveying your meaning through mood and tone, as well as words. Good work.

I hate to be repetitive of others but the caps are most certaintly distracting. But in your poem i can understand EXACTLY how you feel. And really all you can do is deal until you get outta there. Sorry hun. But hey I'm doin the same thing. If you ever need someone to talk to email me.

Good luck with it all.

Sometimes you can't change what's going to happen but you can change how you percieve it.

I believe respect is something that has to be earned..if they don't earn it don't give it to them.

Lots of emotion in this poem. I especially liked the line:
"THIS WORLD IS NOT HAPPILY EVER AFTER SO GIVE ME PITY FOR MY PRIDE"
Great job!
