They dont see the pain I must hide.
If I show them...
It's another trip to the hospital...
Another train of rainbow pills
I cant show them...
I cant tell them...
Without being reminded of my past...
My mother. a special ed teacher.
follows whatever my dad says
Doesnt even listen.
My dad. a physiologist
Treating me like his client. that's all I am to him.
Thinks he knows everything about me. and what's best for me
Doesnt even listen.
My brother. 20 years old.
Still living at home. always with his girlfriend.
Drinks all the time on the weekends.
Bitches me out for things I never did
Doesnt even listen.
So there you have it.
My family tree
True i'm adopted .
That makes me so happy.
I'm nothing like this family
Thank the goddess.
I need to be out of here soon....
Before my family drives me ....
They have before...
To doing thinks....
Just like before...
That's my family.

Hmm. Although my pain hasn't gone to such an extent, I must say that i can relate to feeling out of place in a family that is much different than you, and this is good. I like how you said that they pay attention to you, but they don't really listen. Oftentimes people look at you, and hear you, but they don't actually know what you're going through.
Great Poem!!!
