The Way They See Me

This is for those people who have that one person whose always telling you that you are exactly what you fear...

The Way They See Me

 

She tells me I am everything

I’ve always feared becoming

The w***e who uses guys as playthings

The girl who’ll come home crying one day

Wondering what she did wrong

As she stares at her bruises

She doesn’t understand me at all

She misreads me caring for my guy friends

My family

As me teasing them

Tempting them to make a move

My brothers!!!

But I have no brothers she says

Just guys I play around with

She tells me that one of these days

They will grow tired of my games

That one of them will take me

Beat me, Rape me, and maybe even Kill me

She tells me the best thing my fiancée could do

Would be to drop me

To throw me out on my a*s

She tells me I don’t deserve him

That maybe he should get to know

“The Real Me”

The s**t that she sees

The girl that pushes everyone out of her way

And doesn’t give a s**t if they get hurt

My little sister even sees me as a skank

And she doesn’t even know

The half of my story

What if they’re right?

What if I’m nothing more than my greatest fears

Come to life?

Sometimes I wish…

I just wish I were dead and gone

And far away from this

But maybe I don’t deserve that escape either

It seems I’ll never be free

Of the way they see me…

Author's Note

Again, this one is kind of written specific to me, but poetry is universal... What do you think?

This is so special. I love dark poetry and this is pure dark. Good job you did here!

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Thank you, and there's plenty more where that came from

[AdorableDreams]

I know.I love that.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Well, I'm glad:)

[AdorableDreams]

Haha!

Doesn't matter what others think they see. Only matters what you see, and if you're doubtful of what you see in yourself than find the truth and stick with it no matter what anyone says. Stay strong so when the world falls people have someone to turn to.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

And why would they turn to me exactly? I'm not that good of a leader... But thanks Rekain:)

Your dad needs to find a new wife.. This step mom seems like a waste of time, space and love. As for this piece, its brutally honest, painful to swallow but real. "Hugs" You gotta taken in what they say, Breathe in, Breathe out and be like "ain't nobody got time for that" :P
Chin up, we on wc love you.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Thanks Keegan:) And breathing does help:) But I do love my stepmom, maybe that's twisted, but she can be a good woman when she wants to be. She just sees things differently than I do. Sure it hurts sometimes, but no two people see the world exactly the same way. And thank you so much:)

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Universal indeed, a good piece.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

Thank you very much Thomas:)

My stepmother always tells me I am a s**t and a skank and a w***e, and every other name in the book:) This was over an incident we had last night...

[Rob Santana]

S**t, skank and w***e, now that's f****n mean!! Jus from the little that we've chatted I've never felt the vibe that you're any of these. Jus for the record I don't have anything against s***s, skanks or w****s, I knew plenty of them back in the day, haha.

[Elizabeth Porterfield]

hahaha:) thanks man:) and people are just like that. I can't change their minds bc they have it set in them that that's what I am. I can't prove to them that I'm not, bc they never see anything the way I see it... Thank you:)
