Ouch ouch ouch this hurt me like you have no idea I hope its not true Chelly I honestly do ... but princess I can't bare to think of if it is - I would seriously hurt anyone who hurt my baby sister...life has never been fair, life was never supposed to be easy, but its the trials and pain we go thru that enable us to know success and love one day - to define who we are as people and women ...what doesn't kill us can only make us stronger and appreciate what is good in this world even more - this poem touched me darling yet broke my heart at the very same time - know I always love you regardless and your a strong beautiful and open young women to me :O)

Wow i really like that umm since i gave u a comment can u comment my poem its the one right below urs

Hunn...* This poem is simply amazing. Parents don't always see the truth. They don't WANT to see their child go through pain. Parents only want to see positives. Maybe you should try talking to your mom about all of this. Maybe even give her this poem. This poem explains alot. It really does. It is very deep and a very beautiful piece. 5/5

Maybe just mask not a mask in the final line. But honestly, this poem was so sad because I know how much it hurts when people hurt you. Not exactly how you feel, nobody could know that. Stay strong and continue writing.

Chelsey , OMG this poem was just heartbreaking . It rips my heart to pieces .

Always know I love ya girl !

Oh Chelsey, this so beautiful sad penned, i wish everything well with you, stay strong.....

This was truly sad and touching. I almost have a tear rolling down the side of my face while i write this comment.
I think you espressed yourself very well here. The reader is captivated to read on...
This poem reall yhit home for me as there was many parts to which I could relate. I can relate the most to this stanza...
You’ll never know what you and dad did to me
By your constant yelling and fights
I’d be crying in bed all hours
Writing poems in the dark at night

My parents are now seperated byt I honestly do not have a happy memory of family life as for as far back as I can remember my parents have always fought and were unable to get along...even in front of the kids.
Amazingly you have expressed sorrow so beautifully.

Chelz.... so heartbreaking and emotional. I agree with Diana^, sometimes we parents get so involved with our own little lives we tend to ignore some of what our kids are going through. I learned that I did that from my own daughter cause she had the nerve to tell me to my face and I changed and I respect and love her even more for telling me. As a child myself, I went through a lot of emotional things and never told anyone, hid my problems and as an adult had anxiety and depression and then even as an adult there are a lot of things that have happened, rape for one, but I learned this time to open up and talk about it. I still have anxiety and depression problems at times because of it, but I've learned how to deal with it. Just remember that I'm here if you need to talk about anything. I love you girl. A write that's so tragic yet beautifully written.

Wow. this poem is really good.
from the way you wrote, the words you used, to the way it was set up... its overall awesome. ill definetely vote 5/5 on this one.
keep up the good work. ill check out some more of your poems.
-melis- :-)

Wow this is realy good and i can relate to you perty well on this. i understand what its like to have parents yelling and never knowing what will hapen next.

Whoa!! Take it easy, girl. This was like a hit with an iron pipe in the pit of my somach. I'm reeling. Such a harsh way of living, always hiding the truth, never saying a word about anything. I know. That's my life. I am shaken. This poem has ripped out my heart and shredded it to pieces. Astounding write. I hope you don't really feel this way, but if you do and you want to talk just email me.

Peace and love,
Mary

Brilliance!!! I Loved This Part
You say you gave me a wonderful childhood
But oh mom you don’t even know
Of the feelings and burdens I carry
That I promised myself I will never show

You don’t even know my
Confusion,
Frustration,
And tears
You’d never guess my
Prayers,
Dreams
And fears &
You’d never know if you didn’t
Wonder,
Question,
Or ask
You never know I hide under
Blankets,
Smiles,
And a mask
