18/F Breaking isn't hard, knowing you're breaking is.
I was once a 5 year old girl Joyous and giggling Torn between two parents I was once a 13 year old Lost and confused Not knowing what to do or who to turn to I am now simply done I cannot fathom life with with you Nor can I fathom it without you I cannot face your toxicity But I cannot abandon your love But I will not wait forever

Still Hope
She sat there crying Helplessly Thinking of all the men She’d watched leave Each one left feeling pleased For every night She got to her knees Why does she do this? Does no one care? With her bloodshot eyes And tangled hair She trudges home Wishing someone was there Alone each night It wasn’t fair She woke one night Reduced to tears Tired of being used For so many years She couldn’t Face all her peers With all the mockery And their jeers So, facing solitude Once again The girl gets up and grabs a pen And writes a note To all the men She closes her eyes And then….

An Unspoken Kind of Pain
A little girl with hopes and dreams An artistic mother whose smile beams A burly father who protects the team Family is as it seems A little girl that is confused A fighting mother who is always bruised A father that now grabs the ***** Family is far from smooth A young girl that can’t understand A tired mother who sits on her hands An angry father who only demands Family crumbles like sand A teenage girl with a broken heart A single mother falling apart A father lying asleep in a park Family is far from the start A teenage girl who sleeps around A mother buried in the ground A father who is chained and bound Family is not profound A young adult with pain on her mind A mother who is still resigned A father who was left behind Family is redefined

Family
"He is so perfect", she thought. 1 month passed "He is still good", she thought. 3 months passed "He will get better", she thought. 4 months passed "He won't hurt me anymore", she thought. 5 months passed "Stop!" She screamed. 6 months passed "Goodbye" she whispered.

She sat there crying and rubbing her bruised face as he sat there rubbing his bruised knuckles.

The words that won't come (semi-rant)
I have so much self hate But  I am so vulnerable  But I just  When I cry  I just Can't  But I cry too much  Can't Seem  So I think  Seem To  That I may just  To Evict  Give up  Evict It all  One day  It all Maybe it will consume all of me.

Last Monday Today I cut And out of that cut, A beautiful dragon arose And from that dragon's mouth, A single word dripped out Hope A new hope filled my veins And it made me set down the blade I gently washed off the dragon, His words still echoing in my mind And I let that hope flourish Let hope spread, Like a butterfly's wings

Rhyming in a scheme You should totally try it It is not as easy as it may seem Like finding a shoe that fits Rhyming cannot be implied It cannot be faked It must be applied It is like a good steak A rhyme a day Or is it an apple? Will keep the lame away But do not grapple For it is rhyme time Time to rhyme
