The Reason I Hurt

by Maddy   Apr 13, 2009


**Not very good.. more of a vent poem**

No longer you care, only thinking of yourself,
Seek solitude in a room of the house,
Hardly ever seen, and depressed when you are,
Leave all the work and stress to your spouse.

Not the person you once were,
A business man and hard worker,
Now you just try to kill the pain with
Over doses of medicine, food and alcohol.

You once were a person I deeply respected,
My idol, my hero, my good old daddy.
Now you just waste your life away,
Killing brain cells with too much T.V.

I am mad at you, just want you to know,
But I still love you with all my heart.
I'm scared for you, I fear for your health,
With hope gone, no longer you take care of yourself.

I'm afraid one day it might plummet downhill,
And you'll take drastic actions,
Like you almost have once before.

I'm begging you, please, come back to me.
Pull out of this cycle, become the man you once were.
Don't let depression seize your life from your hands,
And don't leave mom and I to fend for ourselves.

    Wow I admire your ability to write something so personal Maddy. This poem gave me chills all the way through, it was written from the heart and spoke of anger and lots of other emotions. You did well with this, it doesnt matter if its a "vent" poem or not, its well written. I have been through some of hte same stuff involving my mom, but probably not nearly as bad as you. I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope things get better!! Hugs*

    5/5.
