My Parents' Mistake

by A Broken Bleeding Soul   Apr 19, 2005


*This poem is dedicated to my mom and dad*

The signs are out there, bright and red
Laid out for you both to see
But you somehow never seem to understand
That little part of me

Dad you know I love you so much
But why do you beat me every night
You cause so much pain to me in everyway
That I can’t sleep until the break of light

Mom you know I love you so much
But why don’t you tell me the same
You tell me your life is so messed up
And that I’m the one to blame

What have I done so wrong
In all these years of my life
How has my life come to be so bad
To the point where I turned to the knife

Mom, Dad… you two are forcing me
To be what I have become
Why don’t you two try to save me
Save me from what my insanity came from

I feel as if I have no parents
It makes no difference if neither of you are there
Everytime I try to turn to you for advice
I’m answered “Life’s not fair”

I can’t believe that I’m left in this world
Without having anyone to turn to
While other children will turn to their parents
It will never cross my mind to turn to either of you

*I really feel as if they're not my parents... how is that possible?*
