Broken Family: Heather Logan

You never had a say
When I was young
You never spoke up
But now I’m old enough to know
To understand
Who I am, and what I’m about.
And you want to control me?
Doesn’t work like that.
You should know by now
I don’t let anyone control me
No boyfriend, no girlfriend controls…
I’ve fallen down naked
-Been bleeding for a while now
You’ve never noticed
Why now?
I don’t cry
No need to shed tears.
You piss me off
Stress me to my limits
Yet you want us to be called family?
I’m done with you
Done with your stupid games
-All done.
I don’t ask for forgiveness from you
I don’t want it
Don’t need it.
Call me what you’d like
Make fun of me
Go ahead.
You should know by now
I’ll sacrifice my life
To make you feel.
Do you think this life means anything to me?
You should know by now.

Oh very very *very* nice work. I can absolutely relate to this so much. You took the words right out of my mind. Excellent.

Hm, truly a spectacular write... I can really relate to this poem of yours... It really is maddening when it seems like the only goal in your parents' life is to ruin yours...
A very strong and deep piece... The closing was simply perfect...
