Dear mum & dad

by Amanda   Jul 18, 2006


You take my heart and rip it out,
and leave my soul to bleed,
You take the pleasure in destroying me,
don't care about what I need,

Love from a mother and father,
like any other ordinary girl,
All the lies you are telling me,
got my head spinning in a whirl,

You push me to the limits,
taking all the money I have got,
Love is what is important to me,
so you can have the lot!

Friends are also important,
because they keep me strong,
They always pick up the pieces,
when you do something wrong,

So take my heart and rip it out,
and leave my soul to bleed,
I have all of my friends,
my family, they are indeed!

Some people think my parents brought me up. I don't think i explained that i'd been in care until I was 21.

    Great poem =) It really made me think about my family problems that I have, and it's really quite emotional to some people. I liked the flow, and overall the poem was great. 5/5 =) xoxo

    I think the strongest part in this poem is this:

    Friends are also important,
    because they keep me strong,
    They always pick up the pieces,
    when you do something wrong,

    I think the weakest part in your poem is this:

    You push me to the limits,
    taking all the money I have got,
    Love is what is important to me,
    so you can have the lot!

    It just sounds sort of: thrown together. It is an excellent poem but that is the only part I disliked.

    Great job on this.
