Family Portrait I’ve tried so hard for so many years But they’ve done it again left my eyes filled with tears How is it that you make my life such a living hell You’re all pathological liars and there is no need for you to yell. A sink full of dishes, a mess scattered across the floor It’s all my fault and you can’t take anymore You just won’t give up until you are sure you have won But I’m not your slave and nor will I ever be one You push me to the edge; leave me dangling from the side Making sure I suffer on life’s merry ride You say you don’t mean to make me upset But the words just come out and you can’t take back what was said I’m scared and depressed and I just let my wounds bleed If I bleed, then the pain goes away and for once I have payed myself a good deed How many times have I tried to give life away I don’t belong on this earth and I don’t want to stay. For once in my life I’m not afraid of whom everybody else sees I’m just afraid that one day I will wake up not knowing who to be Here I am now, stuck between the world of reality and make believe My family portrait lies behind me through a long and winding road will it forever weave |

Your poetry sounds like a fresh wound from your heart. It's amazing how things change in time though. Two of my kids fought constantly for a couple of years, then became much closer as they grew older. I pray your trials smooth and sweet memories will be made with family members shortly. Rae |
