And now I understand..

by Kaitlyn   Apr 17, 2007


Mum yells
Dad Screams
Pray it's only
In my dreams

Dad gets violent
Mum just roars
Hear them from
My bedroom door

Kitchenware thrown
Across the room
Hear the plates
All go boom

Hear the sound
Of fists in walls
Watch your families
Rise and falls

Watch your family
Disappear in time
Watch it wilt
Watch it decline

Hear ymy parents
Argue to the core
Screaming, fighting
I cant take it no more

My older brothers
They're older now
They understand why
They understand how

Yet I'm confused
They tell me why
I love my family
Till the day that I die

Mum is amazing
Dad is just fun
But now it seems like
Were over and done

Dad leave mum alone
She did nothing wrong
Now I understand..
It was you all along

You are so selfish
Beat mum for your mistakes
Fine, I'll let you leave
If that's what It takes

If it's the only way
For mum to feel right
Then go, just leave
There's no point of this fight

I love our family
I love our home
But home isn't home anymore
It is to disown

    Pretty good emotions felt here, but the vocabulary used to express them could use some expounding.
    i aslo like the last stanza. very vivid.

    A unique topic with a very nice flow. It seemed in this poem that you relyed mostly on two of the five sences, sight, and hearing, you developed those in the beginning of the poem very nicely.

    Watch your family
    Disappear in time
    Watch it wilt
    Watch it decline
    ^^^ I loved this line, the words sounded perfect together and it was VERY meaningful

    Hear the sound
    Of fists on walls
    Watch your families
    rise and falls
    ^^ This stanza doesn't seem to fit your poem. The whole way through you were talking about yourself, in the first person tence, and then you switched to second person in this stanza.

    Yet you're confused
    They tell you why
    I love my family
    Till the day I die
    ^^ Up until this point you compleated each thought thoroughly before starting the next stanza. But in this one you were saying that they explained to you why, but then you didn't talk about him hitting your mom, but insted you jumped to a different, sort of filler topic and said that you loved your family.

    I love out family
    I lover our home
    But home isn't home anymore
    It is to disown
    ^^a very powerful and emotionful ending. But i didn't understand the last sentance, it seemed forced and didn't fit in the stanza.

    Other than that punctuation might help you have your reader read this better, and more like how you intended.

    Very nice job over all 5/5
