I Should've Known

 I should’ve known something was up…
  as soon as you said those words.
No one could love plain old me…
  and want to tell the world.

I should’ve known my fairytale would end up a horror…
  as soon as the words traveled to me.
No one could handle this life I call mine…
  and not want to be free.

I should’ve known my happiness would only last so long…
  as soon as those words came on the screen.
No one could think those words of love for towards me …
  and so I let darkness in my soul be seen.

I should’ve known better than to have emotion…
  as soon as those words were said to me.
No one could see what I truly am…
  and still want to be with me, not wanting to flee.

I should’ve kept my little monster in its box…
  I should’ve never let it spread its pox.
I should’ve kept my emotions in their crates…
  I should’ve never cracked any of the grates.

I opened my mouth, and everything went wrong…
  maybe I’ll just have to be silent, all day long.
Emotions locked up inside a bag, so they don’t cause anymore tears… 
  maybe if I ignore them long enough, they’ll evaporate along with my fears.

I am just a failure...my parents told me true.
  I'm not even capable of talking to you.
I guess my parents saw me in the light...
  for I have just proven, I can't even love someone right.

Author's Note

I really don't do well with arguments...though i get into them often...this is just a result of one...

I know what you are feeling I myself have many arguments with my family. The same things get said to me. Today must feel like forever. I know that things are rough for you right now. Yes you are a teenager who feels like no one is listening to you. But they are listening just give it time. Thing always start bad and end good. Believe me I am in a situation myself right now were I know I am gonig to hurt people that Iove. But I also know that things are bound to get better. I have God on my side. Nice write keep up the good work.

Humbly,
