I am who I am

by Amanda   Jul 5, 2006


It all started when I was born,
brought into a family of hate,
In a community that's really rough,
they'd come to the garden gate,

They'd throw bricks through the windows,
because of something he had done,
My dad got in to so much trouble,
and our problems had just begun,

My mother totally rejected me,
resulting in beatings and more,
My dad was just as bad as she was,
we we're covered in bruises galore,

Me and my brother had to fight it,
until the day I was taken away,
Some of the memories I have,
I still remember them all today,

In and out of those foster homes,
in total there were ten to be exact,
I was told I was the one in most danger,
and she tried to kill me, that's a fact,

I still love that woman very much,
but she just helped ruin my whole life,
Nobody wanted me, kept passing me on,
and that cuts me just like a knife,

Ten foster homes and ten different schools,
constantly being sent back to mum and dad,
then people judge me for being depressed,
What do they expect from the life I have had.

I know it isn't that good but I just tried to explain how I feel and it doesn't always make sense to other people. I'm ok, I don't feel sorry for myself because there are people worse off than me. I'm trying to cope and most days it works but some days I still feel like nobody even cares about me and that hurts - to feel so unloved and unwanted.

    Awww this is really sad. I think you expressed yourself well as emotions are always difficult to word.
    Nice piece well done.

    That was a very powerful poem. I would understand needing to express yourself, and you did it really well. The flow and rhymes in this poem were great. That's terrible, such a sad story, and it sucks to know it's true. I hope you're alright now!.. Good poem!
