The most confused time in my life
wasn't when i was beneith his anger and rage
but when I would protect you
and you would just hit me later like he did
for not letting you fight,
you said you were strong enough,
good enough,
bad enough,
that you didn't need help,
but I never understood why deffending you from him,
getting hit by him for you,
just got me beaten harder when you came to my room.
I don't think I'll ever understand why you hit me so badly,
when all I wanted to do was make sure you weren't the one bleeding.

Oh this isn't bad at all man!

omg its horrible lol

This hits home. I like the rhythm you use in your pieces...the stand-alone lines 'good enough/bad enough' for instance. You create a lot of emotion in a few phrases, and your points are driven succinctly into a meaningful conclusion. Sad to read, but well written.

*hugs you tight* i'm so sorry this happened i know the feeling only I wasn't protecting him from my dad but from other people... he never listened and took out his anger on me... great job Shawn

this confused me at first, i had to read it several times to understand. amazing poem Shawn, really well done! i saw the categories on the right and then i understood that you were talking about your father and your brother. Your brother had no right beat you especially if you were trying to help him. But sometimes people feel betterwhen they do the same thing to other people( not that im trying to say its the right thing to do), that others do to them. honestly, i'd love it if you were my brother. Not many people would get beaten for someone else...Just shows how sweet, caring and selfless you are.
im always here for you if you need to talk
take care

Are you going to be ok bud? It seems like you've hit a depression point. Well, I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to or rant at to blow off steam. Just message me when you need me ok?

I'm always depressed lol i just never show it really... sometimes I do but err idk um anyway, um nah theres only a few people I really talk to it about but I've known them for a while, and even now I kind of dont really tell them cause they always think they need to be at the comp for me 24/7 and thats bad for them, so I just shut up about it lol but its actaully not as hard as one might think to just... not talk about it. Thats why writing it helps. Alson, weirdly enough, this DID help kind of I guess haha i dont know. Um yeah anyway, so errr yeah I guess this helped.
Errr also, I dont like ranting at people, even tho I have like... twice... but I felt so bad afterward that I cried lol
