I'm Confused


I'm confused

Isn't a mother supposed to make her daughter raise her siblings?

I'm confused

Don't fathers always abandon there children?

I'm confused

Isn't it normal for a 3 year old to be touched by her uncle?

Aren't lovers supposed to love on everyone?

What is infidelity?

Why does mommy kiss other men while daddy's gone?

Why did daddy say he never wanted us?

I'm confused

None of this is normal to you?

Not even sitting alone in your room crying every night because you can't do anything right?

Not even having scars on your arms that were blamed on that mean dog?

What about throwing up every meal so that you can feel something real that doesn't require your family calling you fat?

I'm confused, what is life like for you?

Incomplete_storyline

I'm just another kid who's trying to figure out who I am. Poetry is one of my ways of expressing myself. I love any form of art. Art is my passion and it defines my personality.I use art as a form of release. Releasing emotions, thoughts, things that have happened in my past, everything. This is how i cope, whenever I'm writing or drawing, I completely lose track of what's happening around me and it's peaceful.
