Breaking Point

by ElegantlyWasted   Jul 22, 2005


I told you to calm down,
To stop yelling at this time of night,
But you insisted on screaming,
And starting another fight.

"You make me so damn angry",
Still i tried to calm you down,
"I'm sorry Dad, i really am",
Then it struck me to the ground.

I looked toward the window,
Wiping the blood from my cheek,
The gash was deep and painful,
And my body felt cold and weak.

You took me to the emergency room,
And they stitched me up okay,
"The stupid girl feel over herself"
But that's what i knew you'd say.

'I need to watch out for myself,
Instead of always fooling around,
And if i don't act so childish,
I won't keep falling on the ground.'

Dear Diary. 22nd July, 2005.

Tonight my father hit me,
Though this time it hurt me more,
He chucked a piece of timber,
That knocked me to the floor.

The nails cut my cheek open,
And the wood it scratched my chin,
I tried to hold back the tears,
But this time I'm giving in.

He told me i deserved it,
For writing that "disgusting" letter,
He said i was a stupid idiot,
If i thought I'd make things better.

So as i write this entry,
I promise i won't be scared,
I'll hide the pain once more,
Because i know that no one cares.

Just don't blame me, please,
If i get driven over the edge,
He only needs to yell again,
And I'll steep right off this ledge.
---------------------

[I just finished writing this; He chucked the wood at me just like that. I wasn't even expecting it. I know this is a stupid poem but i needed to tell "someone".]

    This isnt a stupid poem at all. It was one of your best i think. You need to get yourself away from your father. I know you want to help but you're only hurting yourself by staying there.

    he told you that you deserve it but you certainly DON'T! don't believe a word your father says if he's going to say such things like that, it will only bring you down. i'm so sorry to hear about the wood he threw at you, can't even imagine how much that would hurt

    So as i write this entry,
    I promise i won't be scared,
    I'll hide the pain once more,
    Because i know that no one cares.

    it's ok to be scared, it's a reaction everyone gets, it's one thing being brave and bold but it's another when you ignore your insticts to get away from something, there are times you should listen to your fears.

    also the line that you should hide your pain because no one cares = NOT TRUE i love you hun and care so much about you! put you pain through these poem and i'll try to be there for you the best i can. you're not alone me and ari are here for you, always! you wrote it very well though
