Fighting

by Danielle Riddle   Oct 11, 2004


I hate the constant struggle
And all the times I have to fight
I hate the way you talk to me
And then I cry for you at night

I tell myself I hate you
But I love you just the same
quit playing with my life
Because its not a game

The fight for life gets harder
Your gaining control of me
You've got me locked up in your world
As if its your fantasy

Fighting for another breath
To see the light of day
Why do you want me here
I'm giving in to what you say

I cannot find an escape
And you won't set me free
I can't go on living here
Its getting harder to breathe

Its getting harder to see
I'm losing my sight
I don't know why your smiling
I have just lost my fight

    i think this is very good. i started writing poetry when i was about your age. probably around 13 or 14. so i can relate to how you feel in alot of your stuff. i was abused as a child, and my mother didnt believe me and stayed with my dad, and the state came in and put me in group homes. writing was my escape and my way of staying alive another day, it was a way to get the ugliness inside of me out, in a constructive way. check out some more of my stuff if you havent already, if you want.
