Withered flowers,
dying dreams,
forgotten wishes,
and broken promises.
Sleepless nights,
Daddy goes to the bar,
doesn't come home until two in the morning,
Mommy judges me,
tells me that she loves me,
but she wouldn't judge me if she did.
Taunts whispered in my ears,
promises made but never kept,
don't tell not to care,
your cracked heart will be mended.
But no amount of Elmer's glue,
will fix my heart,
no amount of love,
will seal the cracks,
the damage is done.
So, why don't you all just crack it some more?
Act like it will all be ok?
The damage is done,
I can't be fixed,
all because of what 13 years of what people have done.

Awww thank you for entering, this write makes me feel so sad, because I can relate to it in many ways, it sounds a little like me in some respects. Beautifully expressed though, sorry you feel this way.

I'm sorry Jade, if that helps.
I know people don't understand, and people judge...
I love you, sissy. And I'm sure that there are people who do care...
Even if there's not many...
I can't FULLY relate, I could if you left out: "Daddy goes to the bar,
doesn't come home until two in the morning"
But MY favorite lines were: "But no amount of Elmer's glue,
will fix my heart,
no amount of love,
will seal the cracks,
the damage is done.
So, why don't you all just crack it some more?
Act like it will all be ok?
The damage is done,
I can't be fixed,
all because of what 13 years of what people have done"
Because that, Jade came from where almost noone sees, where almost noone knows about...
Keep writing Jade I love you!!!
