Peter...

It's my fault your gone
why couldn't i have said no
how come i didn't lie
i could have prevented this
this broken home tragedy
we could still be together
just maybe i was scared
scared to get hit again
maybe i was to shoo ken up to think
scared at what you'd do
i was just scared of YOU
why did you do this
why that day
how come you had to leave the way you did
why was i the only one there
why did you try to hurt yourself
how come you tried to hurt me
then just came in
and took you and then questioned me
thats not fair
I'm just a teenage girl
not the strong girl you think i am
i don't think i can do this
living with the fact
that i sent my own dad away
i should have lied
i could have lived with the abuse
no one would have had to know
you did drugs dad
it wasn't you
you wouldn't even hurt me
would you?

    The question at the end of this is so symbolic of the question in the narrative of the girl you are portraying. it really ends the poem off right. good job!
