my world

When defining my life 

The world is different and difficult

And maybe it is for the best that it happened

It is true

It can be frightening at any moment

A fight can come alive an any time

We have fought

WE have cried

We have seen all great and scary moments between my parents

Closing the doors around my brother

To get him away from the unhealthy environment

That he is living in

When defining my life 

Despite the extreme loudness rumbling our home

And ongoing questions from my little brother

Asking repeatedly asking why they live apart

During September, 2011, I found out

My parents are getting a divorce

This didn’t surprise me

I have been trying to live a normal life 

And now it’s a weird feeling to know

That now I'm the one that keeps this family together

It’s unfortunate to see my brother without his father

Although we see my stepfather every weekend

It’s not something I like 

For the reason is his home is full of cigarettes and beers

I do not want to grow up and think

My brother has to live with an alcoholic father 

Who doesn't know who he is hurting

And is not aware of the effects of how he is abusing his body

He thinks this is normal

NO child should ever have to live like that

with a father who abuses his body in front of him

What should I tell him?

Should I say he is acting crazy?

What is the right term that i can use to describe the situation?

I am truly fed up with his attitude towards my family

The worst part about my brother is that he has asthma

When my father smokes, i have to close the door of the room my brother is in

So he doesn't end up choking 

I want say something

I know what I say won't change him

My mother cannot say anything

This is the largest drives me in sane

It's a good start, but there are mistakes in here that you should look over, for example:

1)"I want say something
I know what I say won't change him
My mother cannot say anything
This is the largest drives me in sane"
- In the first line, instead of "want say something." It should be "I want 'to' say something."

I understand that you may have missed the word when typing it, but after reading the poem, it doesn't seem like thats the reason.

If you want to ignore this advice, please do... its your own writing and you can write it any way you want to, but I would suggest overlooking your entries with caution and observant eyes before you post.

You do have something here, though, so I will say you did a good job.
