[hometext] => Just came out a few days after a big fight my parents had, one of the more scary nights of my life, definitely one of the most painful. I don't know if it came out well in a poem, so I'd appreciate any opinions.
[bodytext] => My bloodied knuckles scar, memory emblazoned upon my skin. Broken wood panelling stares suffocating me with compelling sin. Locate, Vacate, Eradicate; forsake feelings for the purpose of life. Suffer, buffer, rougher; Tougher hide to fight the sharpened knife. Daddy did you mean it? When you said those nasty things? Daddy did you mean it? When you stole my butterfly wings? Can't run away, can't hide from the sound of your voices in my mind. There's no one to turn to now, want to forget my heart is forever blind. Complain, constrain, profane; rain falls as God's tears we caused drown. Threat, regret, forget; Russian roulette starts the countdown. Daddy did you mean it? When you said those nasty things? Daddy why'd you do it? When you broke my butterfly wings? You drive the knife through my hope, telling me life's a stage. Hell would be heaven with you, I'd rather hang backstage. Booze, accuse, abuse, bruise a child's soul. Motion, siren, leaden; beaten too low to console. Daddy why'd you do it? Why'd you say those nasty things? Daddy why'd you do it? Why'd you break my butterfly wings? Do the right thing for you, the wrong thing for me. Carry on with a smile, until they can see. Extreme, dream, scream, sunbeam's burned my naked skin. Leech, preach, speech, teach me all you've never learned. Daddy why'd you do it? Why'd you say those nasty things? Daddy why'd you do it? Why'd you break my butterfly wings? Daddy why'd you do it? Daddy why'd you do it? Daddy why'd you do it? Now it's my turn... ~Kara~~Waos~ [comments] => 8 [counter] => 285 [topic] => 23 [informant] => waos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

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. ©
