life and luxury,
whats it all for.
i spent 16 years trying to please the world,
so hard i tried.
my family hates me for all different reasons,
so much the reject me from everything.
i''ve been beaten almost every day,
it all began when i was 2 and a half.
my little sister was born,
there was a new youngest.
i became one ofthe middle childs,
and apparently the most talented of the lot.
i paint i sing i dance i write and i am a very fast learner,
but i never seem to learn that the better i do the worse they get.
they beat me everytime my mum isn't looking,
and when she does they lie.
i get punished for my actions,
even though im not to blame.
i listen to my music,
blared all through the house.
the lyrics always send out a message,
my bruises seem to help.
a gash across my arm here and there,
a burn on my head.
i still live my life as if it wasen't there,
as happy as i possibly can be.
my acting comes in and everyone believes it,
my entire life is a lie.
thats why i gotta get away from this,
i wish i could grow some wings and fly.
i would fly away from this place,
try some place new.
never contact these people again,
yes i believe thats what i will do.

Letting it out is good
Such a mixture of emotions in this write. Luckily you have escaped it at last and you look so much happier. I am glad things have worked out as they have. Always remember you are in control of your own life and you can make things happen the way you want them just by learning how to practice the LAW OF ATTRACTION...Love you honey...Gugs..

so is this your older siblings or someone else and if you are abused like this shouldnt you do something about it? you shouldnt have to live like this.
good write though.
