So one night I came home having had a hard day, then I got in a fight with my parents. This is not normal so don't get too worried but I stormed to my room and cried for a good hour, then I wrote this poem, which is one of the ways I cope, getting my feelings on paper so I don't have to share with anyone else. I looked back on it today and I thought it was good, so I decided to show all of you. Here.
Torn
Torn between anger and depression
But not brave enough for confession
Told to be perfect told to be find
Told to be kind and never decline
Told your all wrong, yet still to be strong
Told to think of pros when all you see is cons
Just wanting to escape their wrath
Just wanting to find your own path
Curling up every night til your covered
Waiting to truly be discovered
Your told to move on, don't pick a fight
But if you move on you’ll never take flight
Told to leave, yet told to stay
Pressure building up in every way
Told to be someone your not
Wanting to hide until your forgot
Eyes water, hands shake
Sobbing on the floor in no one's wake
Then hiding it all back in your gut
Feeling a wound like a horrible cut
Forcing a smile, waving hello
Just to show no one else of the cold
Torn between anger and depression
But not brave enough for confession
Oh my, that is so touching and beautifully written - I relate to it so much. Thank you extremely for sharing this.
