Breaking down

by Steph   Apr 7, 2013


Crushing, breaking
Stress and guilt
Be this, Do that
You look like filth

You're not thin,
nor attractive
Your skin is scarred
Your heart's barely active

Play the parent
Get good grades
Pay for school
Without parental aid

You're stupid, dumb
You're ugly, fat
Annoying girls get nowhere
With an attitude like that

Watch your mouth,
you stupid wh-re.
I don't want to
see you around anymore

Be kind, be sweet
Look pretty and swell.
You're lazy and annoying
This relationship is hell

No parents, no friends
Who can understand
I just can't be perfect
That's just who I am

Take the pain, the fear
The stress, the hate
Make me pretty and nice
Treat me like a saint

I'm still not ideal,
No waist to speak.
I'm mouthy and angry
I feel like a freak.

My boyfriend can't stand me
My mom calls me names
My dad is a drunk
My friends are going away

Who can understand this?
The hatred and doubt
What's the point of living,
if this is all life's about

    I get sad and upset reading poems like this because I can see the story behind them. I hope you keep writing...sometimes it helps to let everything out. :)
