Delusional Child

Father and mother

both guilty of my existence

they blame each other

and keep me at distance

am I not hurt?

just a damaged child

undesirable dirt

captive and wild

this place you claim real

conveys me not out to

thus my sentences reveal

what you claim untrue

am I yet changing dreams?

I cannot calm down

lost within their screams

I'll silently lay and drown

patient of unwanted desires

wait for me not a minute less

as my wisdom retires

words gently would digress.

Very sad I know people from a family like that. I am quite lucky I grew up in a loving family despite being blind in one eye and hard of hearing I have a gift of appearing normal haha

The second story told by the colored letters is astounding and deep, for starters. Then there's the poem itself, and it's a beautiful one, even though pain courses through it. It's something I wish no person had to go through. Well written.

forgot home again in my dreams sorry, i wonder what that means, it is a very good poem, i can relate to it. i would really like to know if the colored letters mean anything, or am i just crazy? haha

i loved the whole poem but certain parts spoke to me more.
--"Father and Mother both guilty of my existence." Because parents often blame their children for ruining their lives when it's their fault.
--"Am I not hurt?" I liked this because its what I say sometimes when people say rude or un-needed things to me.
But I really do think that this is a good poem; your reason for writing this? IDK but i'm glad you wrote it. Great write.

Brings back memories eh?

Sometime words are said that are not true. Children should make a life complete. The poem started with a sad story and ended with confusion. We need to learn to be better then the bad examples in a life. A excellent poem.
