[hometext] => it took me forever to put this into words... please comment
[bodytext] => In this house that is not a home I’m trapped in a fake world all alone Forced to live someone else’s life Forced to endure so much pain and strife So many expectations melted into me Wanting me to change into someone I could never be And I will always remember the welts on my sides Never forgetting how I’d run and hide Painfully looking back to how you’d keep me afraid Forever regretting the mistakes I have made And having to remember that look on your face So disappointed, my pulse increasing in pace Tears pouring down, as you’d step up Telling me I would never be good enough Feeling the sting of your old leather belt Rubbing my hand over my newly earned welt My heart racing every time you speak You taking advantage of knowing I’m weak And even Mother’s tears made not a difference I’d never be able to make a resistance The wrath of you, my Father, broke me in two Having to live knowing I’m just disappointment to you With bloody tears running down my cheeks My Mother too afraid to even speak Up on the mantle sat your old leather belt I’ll never forget all the shame that I felt You’d stand so tall over me in all that you know I’d feel so intimidated in your cold shadow And although it has been almost four years I can still feel the burn of my shallow tears And I’m still afraid of you, of what you did I still feel so small, like such a disappointment And I’m still sorry, Father, for everything I’m sorry for being so disappointing For not being able to stand up for Mother For not refusing, for hating you, Father Now you ask for my forgiveness and love After apologizing for everything you have done But I’m still afraid, Daddy, I’m still all alone I’m so sorry, Daddy, but you’re on your own [comments] => 2 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 32 [informant] => blue_angel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
