Evil Step Dad

true(My step dad, anyway)

He laughs as he picks,

He yells and he screams,

Why is it chosen,

That when he yells,

It's at me,

It's the stupid stuff,

That he yells at,

To make me cry,

In my head I'm asking,

Why,

Have you heard of Cinderella,

When she had an evil step mother,

I know how it feels except for the she it's a she,

And HE has anger issues the size of the empire state building,

You can't run away,

He'll catch you,

When he laughs,

It's like it's raining over your head,

Sometimes at night I'm wishing I'm dead,

I don't want to be dead,

But thats all I can do,

To get out of this night mare,

I pray that I do,

I tell me mom,

She understands,

But he has so many problems,

That she takes it in her hands,

My mom works two jobs,

Still not enough to pay,

I have a job just so my mom,

Can have her day,

I don't want none of ya'll to feel bad for me,

I don't want you to cry,

Thats not why I write these,

So don't think to even cry,

Just wanted to tell you the story,

Of my evil step dad,

No lie.

A very honest and nice write. It takes a lot to open up like this especially to strangers I admire your courage. There were a few mistakes here and there, some words could be changed or rearranged to make the rhyme flow better. Overall it's a nice write. Kudos to you brave girl! :)

Thnx I'll think about that next time I'm writting!

I am very sorry for what you are going through. I can imagine it must feel horrible to hear someone laugh when all they make you feel is negativity. I also admire your courage to write such honest, but... I don't know perhaps writing it about someone else, perhaps if you replace I with 'she' and my with 'her' it would give it a more poetic rhythm?

Other than that this is very genuine and brave, thank you.
