A Broken Family

by PJ   Sep 15, 2007


Morning, afternoon, and evening
Every hour of the day
Deep inside where nobody can see
Is how I'm hurting and angry

What's happened to me?
I used to be happy, excited and always grinning
I used to wake up in the morning and smile
'What a lovely day ahead' I thought

Now for the past couple of years
As I've come grow up I've realized
We aren't a family and nobodys ever there
And as I've seen all this my entire life
I no longer seem to care

I try and explain my life to friends
I try and tell others close to me
But every time I do I end up in tears
As I try and rewind the stressful years

My oldest brother, he's hardly ever been around
I dont even class him as my brother anymore
He was taken away and alienated against his us
When he met his wife and her parents

My whole life I've been angry with him
For being my elder brother and never being around
Never being there to protect me
And be a role model to this younger brothers/sisters

My dad died when I was 2, it hurts so much
Nobody seems to understand, not even my friends
I tell my mum but she doesnt understand either
Out of the whole family I used to talk to her

But these days I cant, though I've desperately tried
I've gotten worse as the years passed on
I'm broken and torn from this family
None of 'em seem to care

No one cares about anyone but themselves
They turn on each other so quickly
As Im the youngest they get me involved
And then Im in the middle

I dont care anymore, I just cant
I hate them all.. and I'm angry with them
Im too angry to get over the hurt they've all put me through
They can do what they like from now on
I just dont give a damn..

    I'll be honest, I don't usually like poems that don't rhyme. But you put so much emotion into this and it was very good. I loved it. 5/5. You're now on my favorite authors list :)
