useless uncle
Ruth Mulvenna Apr 2019
I lost my father when I was 12 was left with a pyscho brother violent as hell  .      My father told me you would help,I was with him when he passed he said it will all be well .You turned your back on all of us.My mother you ignored and treated like dirt.You witnessed the violence time after time but still you did nothing is that not a crime?You only lived a few minutes away but in your home I never did stay. You were so cold and would never talk about your  only younger brother my father.I never could understand you so cold and cruel.In the village you and your wife were looked upon as up market kind an nice.Deep down I knew the real you.I lost my father when he was 55 not very old he would be 93 if he were still alive.You lived until your were 93 your funeral I never went to .I would have only been a hypocrite.Its strange to think I always want you to love and be proud of me but you were empty cold and ugly.I never wished any harm on you but will never understand the things you did not do.You never called the police on him even when you seen the destruction that he caused.I no longer want your love or respect and  to me you were pathetic.You hid behind your own four walls and never grew a set of *****

HOPE

In this great big world of ours                                                                                    At the moment things are really hard                                                                        But we are very lucky non the less                                                                         Cause we have the wonderful NHS                                                                        They stand on the front line everyday                                                                      And fight this virus                                                                                                  We have the brilliant local shops                                                                           Their front line staff looking after us                                                                      Their is all the cleaners in the hospitals                                                                       Making sure everything is hygenic and clean                                                        They dont fuss and probably hardly ever seen                                                            All the delivery men and women                                                                                Putting their lifes in danger bringing us  what we need
Everything we need to our front door                                                                               The kindness of neighbours leaving us food parcels                                                               Its a terrible time we are going through           But the love and kindness stops making me blue.There is to many people to mention in one poem but we will get through this together   as long as we stand together and stay strong

I thought thats what friends were far but obviously you dont feel the same its just a crying shame. As Im in such a state I need all the help I can get but if you cant be bothered that is fine at least I have found out what your like in time a good friend is their for the good and the bad  when you are happy and when you are sad but it appears to me we are no longer friends you and me

trapped
Ruth Mulvenna Apr 2019
For most of my life I have been in a very bad dark place.                                                Most of my relationships were toxic looking back in hingsight its such a waste               People always seemed to want to control me, I dont know why?                                     I just wanted to be loved not treated like crap and despised.                                        There have been times when I thought about ending it all                                             I was so messed up my head was all over the place.                                                    Trying to keep everyone else happy all around me .                                                    People will say you should only get treated the way you allow yourself to be treated.I am sorry but I dont aggree. The people who treat you like that its their problem .I have been treated like ******* for years through childhood and adulthood. I have had enough its time to stand up for myself and promise myself no more.I am not putting up with this behaviour any more not for one more second.In relationships just because someone does not beat you up it does not mean its not abuse. Always putting someone down always laughing at their plans thats abuse. I feel its emotional always chipping away at their confidence.How could someone say I love you and then treat you like that. Its wrong I have left now and I am not going back. It may be difficult financially but I will have peace every penny I spent had to be checked over by you.You need professional help, not me  you are controlling and thats not normal. You are no longer my problem. I am gone and im not coming back no longer will I feel trapped

Im in my house with my little pup                                                                              Things quite good not much up                                                                                The next thing I no my kids are coming home                                                            And staying with me until lockdown is gone                                                             We all get on pretty well                                                                                              Then my son passes out and breaks his foot                                                                 He stays in bed for weeks and has to then wear a boot                                               All was going fine and I was trying my best to be kind                                             I then find out from them that I dont wash the dishes right                                     I could do them right our they could wash them themselves                                      I felt really hurt and upset                                                                                           We are in the middle of this pandemic                                                                        Who gives a **** about a ***** knife
Maby Im being childish but I feel quite hurt                                                                      We all be happier when things go back to some kind of normal                                         I can relax and not be so formal

control
Ruth Mulvenna Mar 2020
You didnt love me,you controlled me                                                                           I was so scared of upsetting you                                                                                    Every day I never knew what way you would be                                                         Thought it was love and care but that was not true                                                       My head was always bouncing and fear was in my heart                                      Always tried to do my best to keep you happy                                                     Nothing was never enough,your cruel jibes                                                                 Your twisted mind games                                                                                            I always thought it was my fault                                                                               But that was not true                                                                                                   Because the nasty twisted hateful one was you
