Mother, Father, Listen

We wrote sonnets in English. It isn't very good but I just wanted to get it over with.

I walk outside to find myself alone.

My father cannot see the pain I face.

My mother’s heart has wrapped itself in stone.

The tears cascade as I begin to pace.

I know this pain. I’ve felt it all before.

They are the cause and I know I must cope.

I hate it.  I can’t take it anymore.

I feel so lost and I cannot find hope.

So hard, I’ve tried to tell myself they care

But I can see that it will never change.

I call for help but all they do is stare.

Listen to me.  I know it may seem strange

But Mother, Father, I’ve done nothing wrong.

Without your help, I fear I can’t go on.

Hey, this is powerful and I enjoyed reading it...but on the real side, keep writing if it's all you can do. It helps you make it through until you can make your own changes. My experience: Very similar and I don't regret not doing the thing I could've done to escape it all. It's hard to hang on but you must because you will matter to someone in your future, and they will need you.

Thanks for the strong share

Well written can feel the emotion so deep.
