Stella, Stella.
Why do you yell and scream so much?
Stella, Stella.
Why do you say such hateful words?
Stella, Stella.
Why are you always so angry?
Stella, Stella.
How did you turn out this way?
As time went on, you changed for the worse.
You tuned out your own family and friends.
Dad and I are not to blame for your issues.
Still, you point fingers at him
Instead of looking in the mirror at yourself.
You say you want to leave,
Yet you are still here.
You say you want another place to live,
Yet we're all still in the same place.
In my adult years,
You still try to dictate my life.
I am not a child anymore.
I am not an innocent victim, for I have said and done things
That I have never been too proud of.
Still, you hold all of my mistakes against me.
Have you considered the consequences of your words?
Do you know how much damage you've done?
I am on the verge of exploding
Because I've held the rage inside for so long.
I want to escape, but I don't know how or where to go.
Stella, Stella.
Why must you be so cruel?
Stella, Stella.
Why must you hurt me?
Stella, Stella.
Please stop the madness.
For the turmoil is only beginning.

Yes, been there. I know exactly what you are saying here. Powerful, desperate cries here. Your words are full of questions and emotion pouring out. You poured your all into this and it shows. Stunning writing my friend. I felt your pain

Sad write bro..Hope all is well with you. Situations within families can be very tense indeed sometimes and it often is the children that are left to feel the brunt and harshness of the words said, leaving them feeling, they are to blame and very angry inside. I hope things do eventually improve.

Wow daddy....holy crap. I was not expecting you to bring your personal family members (or one in particular) in to this poem...I suppose that this was the best title that I could give you! Funny how things can work out like that. Beautiful work dad. I like the flow, especially how you kept asking Stella. Who knew a quote from my favorite movie could turn in to such a tear jerker?! Awwww I'm crying now! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to enter and good luck! i love you dad.
ing alone,
