Never to return

by The Poet Behind The Poems   Oct 28, 2011


Ive been away for about ten years
I ran away because my dad I feared
Through the walls my voice was so clear
My mum used to ignore the screams she'd hear

I used to get beat as long as I can remember
It started when I was three an early morning in September
I used to think how can this be true how can the pain be real
My dad just used to say dont worry these wounds will soon heal

I used to cry all the time to my mates on the phone
I used to wish I didnt have a family and that I was all alone
One day I knew I would leave this place forever
One day I would find a guy and we would always b together

I met a guy when I was thirteen we both had a great devotion
We were like a river thats grown into an ocean
But when he saw my dad hit me he just went and turned his back
As he walked out the door, I felt my ribs crack

At the age of fourteenI left home and went on my own
I wrote a note in blood saying how i'd rather be alone
I walked away crying as my heart suddenly burned
I was going away for good, never to return

    To think so many live this piece you penned with not only bruises but shame of thinking they caused it.
    Very good right You're a true Poet my friend

    This made me sad :(

    The pain the boy feels when family is supposed to be about love. Finally meeting someone whom he gets along with & in the end he leaves too. Getting the courage to leave & never return.

    Love this. Penned perfectly with such pain & sorrow.<3

    Indeed.... the best solution of the worst is to go and never come back... run away...

    I know it's hard to satisfy parents.. capture their attention.. make them love us, unconditionally.. I know that. I know it!

    And it's so hard to deal with that... -- YOU JUST amazingly portrayed that in your poem.

    Maybe the rhymes touched me.. or maybe that I can relate to this piece.. with all my 7 senses.

    Amazing job.
    High Five.
