Fake family

 

Screaming

Crying

Hiding

 

Saftey of the home

No more

No where

 

A sick excuse of a family

No love no warmth

 

Fake smiles

Fake laughs

Fake family

 

Held on by a thread

So close to breaking point

So close to falling of a cliff

 

Where were the happy times?

There wernt any

Ever

 

In the world we are happy

At home we are angry

In my heart I am broken

 

Growing up

To fast

To quick

 

No childhood memories

No happy family

All fake

 

We scream

We cry

This is my fake family

I've seen too many of these families.. it seems only one person ever comes out alive. Happy, in the end...with some sort of closure. If this is about you personally then I hope that you find yours..or already have. Just as the last two poems I read tonight, this was beautifully written. You have talent so keep fostering it, keep writing!

I really don't know if there really exist a fake family
coz I never experience such
...I guess literally there is ..

The thing i love about your writing is that you bring your dark, inner self out in your poems. you also put all of your emotions in the poem. i try to do that but it doesnt come across as full of heart and sorrow as yours does. over all, another good poem.

Each one of your poems makes me wish i take away your pain. They are so well written and show what your trying to express. Keep it up and i wish i could help.

I think that most families around the world aren't very nice to each other, though, I hate that you're going through this kind of stuff. I wish I could help.

The poem shows a kind of emotional loss, something you've wanted, your childhood, but never truly got. Wonderful poem.

Sometimes our real family has nothing to do with the people we are related to. Blood ties and family bonds can mean such different things. A hurt many can relate to, nicely done.

very sad, but well known among families. Nice write.

Sometime the home can be a hellish place. One day you can escape and test the world. Ain't easy for anyone. Thank you for the excellent poem.

a good vent! sometimes we just need to let it all out...then we can see things from a more rational frame of mind. No matter what is going on outside ourselves, happiness is an inside job! thanks.

I feel this one. While I was younger my Mom became involved with a a*****e who really just turned my life into s**t. He was a perv and a liar aside from also being just a cruel son of a b***h. But in a way he stole my childhood and trust in people.
