I heard you, Didn’t you hear me?

I heard you cry when I ran away, Mom.
But if you weren’t lying when you said,
All you want is for me to be alive,
Then you should be happy,
Cause I had to get away from you to survive.

You don’t listen when I say
I love you.
You don’t listen when I explain
How the kids make fun of me.
You don’t listen when I spill
All my thoughts and feelings to you.
You don’t listen.

You don’t see me when I run
Up to my room, away from the hate.
You don’t see me when I cry
Waterfalls moving faster than a storm from my eye.
You don’t see when I cut
Digging the knife deeper in my skin for everything you’ve said.
You never see.

You can’t feel what I feel
When you tell me I’m worthless.
You can’t feel what I do
When Dad picks me up and throws me against the wall.
You can’t feel what I feel
When I watch Emily and Adrik crying themselves to sleep.
You don’t feel it.

I heard you cry when I ran away, Mom.
But if you weren’t lying when you said
All you want is for me to be alive,
Then you should be happy,
Cause I had to get away from you
To survive.

You cried, So did I

You cried, So did I.
I heard you, Didn’t you hear me?

I heard you cry when I ran away, Mom.
But if you weren’t lying when you said,
All you want is for me to be alive,
Then you should be happy,
Cause I had to get away from you to survive.

You don’t listen when I say
I love you.
You don’t listen when I explain
How the kids make fun of me.
You don’t listen when I spill
All my thoughts and feelings to you.
You don’t listen.

You don’t see me when I run
Up to my room, away from the hate.
You don’t see me when I cry
Waterfalls moving faster than a storm from my eye.
You don’t see when I cut
Digging the knife deeper in my skin for everything you’ve said.
You never see.

You can’t feel what I feel
When you tell me I’m worthless.
You can’t feel what I do
When Dad picks me up and throws me against the wall.
You can’t feel what I feel
When I watch Emily and Adrik crying themselves to sleep.
You don’t feel it.

I heard you cry when I ran away, Mom.
But if you weren’t lying when you said
All you want is for me to be alive,
Then you should be happy,
Cause I had to get away from you
To survive.

what i really like about your poetry, isnt your concepts, your endings, or even how you write. its the fact it looks like you care to get poetry right on a professional level. a lot of people that are your age, almost 15, according to your account page, could care less about correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and even correct capitalization. that makes you look professional and better to the literate. but as for this poem in particular. i liked the concept very much so, ending, substance, etc. nothing not to like.
