I Don't Want...

I don't want to come home to false accusations,

I don't want to go to sleep to the music of fighting,

I don't want to wake up to hostile stares,

I don't want to get on a bus full of cruel laughs,

I don't want to roam the halls of sideways glances,

I don't want to sit at the cafeteria table only to realize that I am an outcast,

I don't want to go into a class full of strangers and old friends,

 

I don't want to go home again,

I don't want to be accused again,

I don't want to feel like I am nothing in this world again,

I don't want to be told I was a mistake again,

I don't want to me called a thief again,

I don't want to be called a liar again,

I don't want to be called a manipulator again,

 

I Don't want to keep remembering that love does not exist in this world...

This is very poignant. It is a terrible thing to not feel in safe in one's own home.

Heartbreaking. deeply cutting. well written, and again, I hope it's just your talent, not reality!

[James Paulin]

It does seem as if all is lost at times but then there comes a word of hope from a friend or a beautiful sunrise. I feel the bitter, raw emotion in this poem as strong as any I've ever read. Very powerful.
