There is no greater feeling for him,
As he watches me fall to the ground.
He gets off on the pain he causes others,
Torturing them, constantly forcing me to remember.
Stomping on my hopes and dreams,
Never taking his hands off me for a second.
There is no escape from this live I want no part off,
Everyone denies to themselves the truth they know.
The bruises may have faded but the pain has not,
The self inflicted scars are a permanent reminder.
Will I ever be free from my haunting past?
No matter how far I run it always catches up.
Clarity is something I search desperatly for,
Wanting to find my true place in this life.
I know not what the future holds beyond,
Yet I'm starting to think I want absolutely no part.

Powerful
After reading your author's note it makes a bit more sense. what really hits me is that you let go of the past but somehow it is always haunting you. its a wishful thang to wish you could turn a flick of the switch and let it go. In my own opinion I really think that you can let go of the past toally and concentrate on the future. drugs don't help period. any ways thats just my stan point of view. I am probably seeing this from a totally different area but tis how I se eit. any ways hope you're well and take care. Signed, Paul -
"Will I ever be free from my haunting past?

This piece, and especially those lines, really hit close to home. It's very hard dealing with abuse from another sibling, especially because it's so easily tossed aside as "sibling rivalry".
But it's a good poem, and I'm glad you wrote it. Sometimes writing is the best way to get a handle on difficult situations.

Thank you very much for your comment on my poem No Ecape. It is very true that abuse from your silbings is usually tossed away by sibbling rivalry but the truth is that there is so much more to it than that. You really understood my poem and it means alot to me. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and for taking the time to post a meaningful comment.
