I Crawl.

I don't know what to say. My mum just keeps hurting me and I can't help it. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I just wish it would end. Enjoy the poem...

Everyday I felt myself hurting,

Every night I relieved the pain.

Sitting, crying, thoughts keep churning.

How did it turn out this way?

How did I end up so alone

And why cant 'I stop the tears?

This hurt is the worse I've known,

Because it's been building up for years.

It all started when you left home.

When I was told I couldn't be loved.

Since then worse things have come

None of which I'm all that proud of.

You ignored us for so long,

We grew up cold and bitter.

And although I know it's wrong.

I can't stop myself from hating her.

Her, the one who took you away,

The one who meant more to you than us.

Your own family torn apart in a day,

It's her fault that I can never trust.

Do you know what I've gone through,

Just to get to where I am now?

But you've opened my wounds anew,

And no respite can be found.

These days it's hard for me to feel motivated

Even to the extent of getting out of bed.

Walking, going to school, and living

Are too hard for me to comprehend.

Through the years you've hurt me.

So many times you've watched me fall.

Just know you'll never keep me down.

Because when I can't walk, I crawl.
