Family scars

A Poem by Lisa Moore

They cause me pain

They do not know

Everyday they yell

Inside my courage grows

The more they yell

The more I cut

They don't know this

So they can't say but

"But i didn't cause that"

"But it was your own choice"

"But I didn't yell"

Sorry, i heard your voice

Saying im useless

For something i did

I didn't mean to

They think it's a fib

Every night i feel

Like i need to make a scar

And every night i almost do

I always get far

I'm in so much pain

They can't tell

They are supposed to

But they don't and i can't yell

So much stress

For someone so young

So much pain

For a girl who bites her tongue

One day she will burst

She will yell out loud

"I am in pain, I hurt!"

"What are you going to do now?"

But they won't care

"You are a drama queen

You are always smiling

I have seen"

Can't you tell

That, that smile is fake

Me, I am not your daughter

I changed in one week

Now I am week

From all the pain

From all the hurt

I am in vain

Please just leave me alone

Let me cry

Sitting on my bed

Feeling I am about to die

Author's Note

I am home on Christmas break for two weeks. My whole family is home this year for Christmas. They put me through so much stress that my anger issues go uncontrollably crazy and I am more Bi-polar than usual. Little do they know that i have anger issues or that i am bi-polar because i don't dare tell them because they will laugh and say "Stop being dramatic."

your story is much like any other teenagers all around the world... Well perhaps I shall focus on the write first and then tell you what I truly think...
I like the emotions in here they are so honest and well shaped and the images you have created describing your situation were good as well and your rhythm was flawless so on the scale from 1 to 10 I'd give you a 6-7 because you seem to have more emotions and lots of thoughts and the base of your poem is simply great
As for the family issues... well I hope they can set you free sometime soon and I hope it all works out in the end
This write actually reminds me of something I have written in the past and it would be more than delightful if you care to read it
I hope to read more of your writes and I hope you pass by profile as well :)
Keep up the good work
