On being let down...

(I just wrote this in my actual journal, you know those ones you use ink on paper with, yep still got me 1 of those bad boys, anyways liked it enough to share it. Feel free to voice your opinion on the matters of my heart & mind.)1

I am so done with being let down. 3

As a child I had no choice in the dissatisfaction of broken promises to chucky cheese or the park. My parents let me down on many occasions, as have most parents, but it's to be expected, You can't ALWAYS expect everything to go according to plan. Now I'm an adult though, so why am I letting myself get let down?4

Why do I let you prove me right? Why do I sit & stay when I've always promised I'd be the first to my feet & running in situations such as these?5

I told myself I'd be strong, 6

I'd watch where my Mom went wrong  7

Then I'd take her mistakes & N-O-T repeat them, 8

so Brea, remind me again, 9

why do you take this from men? 10

Why are you becoming weak & succumbing to what you know will not be rectified, 11

only solidified over time?

    I relate to this..

    As far as the whole parent thing goes.

    My parents have a gambling problem..and I remember the first time they left..I was in 1st grade probably.

    They'd leave for 2-3 months.. just sort of abandon me. And it happened about 3 or 4 times in my life.. I lived wit my grandpa and grandma the first time.. then the times after that my sister was married and I lived with them.

    I've had some experiences.

    But I love your journals..I haven't tried to do anything like this

      I'm sorry to hear about your parents problem. I wish I could shake the crap out every irresponsible parent and scream at them to grow up! Why have a child if you don't plan on devoting your life to atleast the 1st 18 of theirs. Atleast you had Grandparents and a sister that love you and take you under their wings.

      Not everyone can be blessed with the best of the best, so I think God gives people like you and I a gift to write, or draw, or speak publicly, or something to let out our heartbreak from previous situations that we could not control. But that's just the way I think.

      Thank you for your beautiful comments on not only my poetry, but journals as well. You brighten my day with your beautiul comments and so I am appreciative of that!

    Lowell Lacks Stars & I kinda loathe that to be honest with you. The sky puts me in a trance, especially a night sky.

    My friend Beezy313 asked me to read his newest poem, so I did. It was on love & how he never wants to open his wound, his broken heart & what I told him was this: 1 I want you to know though, that love always hurts hun, if it didn't then honestly, what would be the point? If everything was always fine & dandy we
