Why, Why, oh Why?

    Why me?

Why do I have to be put through this?

What have I done?

I've done nothing but tried to be good

and yet im still the target

a target of the nonunderstanding parents

they yell at me for mistakes I didn't

even know I could make

they say no at every opprotunity

just to crush my hopes

I think they take pleasure in my pain

even when I start to cry

im yelled at and told to be

out of their sight

Im just a girl with feelings so I

guess they don't have to care

they've made me so confused

I don't know what to do now

do I stay and take the stress and pain

or do I run, run into the unknown

just to escape, to get away?

What do I do?

I just want to yell and scream

but it will only get my hit

so I guess i'll just keep asking,

    Why Me?

i don't ever encourage kids to leave home but i do advocate against violence.
here in nc if kids are getting beat on by their parents they call child protective services and it ends, but... they may end up in foster homes. just for the sake of the poem, full of angst and fear, but nicely expressed.
