Array ( [sid] => 61937 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => raised to be like this [time] => 2004-08-30 16:21:45 [hometext] => look who gave birth to my troubled soul....... [bodytext] => is it fun to torment yourself
to always put yourself down

is it fun to torment others
to be negative all the time

the answers to these
their so clear and translucent

yet noone seems to see
noone understands

it's not about me
who torments myself
or me who talks down all the time

it's all about you
who made me this way
who raised me
within these walls

it was you who was
angry all the time
and took it out on me

now you tell me
to be like this
is only asking for pain

why couldn't you just
take the advise
that you are so willing to give

now after all the teachings
you gave
after all is said and done
you tell me you were wrong

i do not deny
i only wish
that i could of known before

because now i'm who i am
and i'm trying so hard to change

no wonder i have trouble
seeing right from wrong
look who gave birth to
my troubled soul

Purplestary, I can really relate to this poem. I was raised being taught right from wrong, but always seeing nothing but wrong.I was beaten unmercifully and slight infractions, and deprived of simple satisfactions because my parents were lovers of money.
I'm so glad to see you state in your poem, that you can change.......because change I did...never to repeat all the bad, only the good! Don't give up hope....if I can do it so can you.
I wish you good luck!
Poetic hugs for this poem......it was splendid!
