Family

[Emmerah]

>.<

Resounding noises. In my ears.
A family that’s crumbled, over the years.

How did we get here, it’s been a long road.
Bowing our heads, with nothing to show.

Words we’ll regret, only tears remain.
Hearts overflowing, falling to shame.

Taunting and Yelling, Try to drown it all out.
Kicking and screaming, forgot what about.

‘you don’t understand’, hold back the tears.
‘go live with your father!’, it’s not quite so clear.

A strange aspiration, he’ll get into prison
My brother is crazy, Step-dad doesn’t get him.

‘You did it on purpose!’, accusations galore
‘I’m sorry! I’m sorry’, can’t take anymore

It’s never enough, so what can I do?
Mama is crying, it’s all coz of you.

Run away, runaway, a house ruled by fear
Stay away, Stay away, always wishing to disappear

The flow was a bit bumpy in spots, but negligible. You were very clear with the story in this and I think you've gotten the feelings across well. Excellent poetry, though I hope things get better for you... Anyways, very good poem.
