Broken Spirit

Poetry/short story style... This poem describes exactly how i feel right now... I basically put all my emotions into words....

I have to leave.

My truths have been overshadowed by his lies.

I have done NOTHING

but

cry and plea for help.

He has turned my cries

into acts of lies.

 

The innocent are often punished

for others amusement.

 

I will no longer be his dummy

upon whom he plays tricks on.

 

I have fought hard

for my sanity

for my voice, in this family

But you all have shut me down.

 

I have tried to stay silent

But they thought i was doing wrong

So i spoke up and explained my silence

But they thought I was doing wrong

I broke out in rage and frustration and

OFCOURSE THEY THOUGHT I DID WRONG

 

But if I leave this world

He'll have no one to torture

And they might just open their eyes

just for a second

and they might

just let their minds linger upon the thought

'maybe she was right'..

 

But then he'll come along and disillusion their thoughts again

and even as a dead corpse

make me look like a liar.

Author's Note

the pronouns make not be grammatically correct.. but hopefully you can feel the emotion and justtttt understand what i am feeling...

commments and words of encouragement are definitely welcome...

I guess I kinda understand what say, what yu feel...
I'm not really sure what is this about... and I don't know what your problems are...
But I've certainly felt this before... I've felt and I've live the things you wrote here...
And yeah... sometimes I wonder if they'd regret about it if I die... if they'd say, "If we had appreciated him, maybe this wouldn't have happened..." and if they'd miss me...
But I know I'm just hurting myself... and just maybe tomorrow will be different...
Beautiful write, so sad... but really good.
You expressed your feelings really well.
Great job! Keep it up.
