Walk Away From This

This is what I write when I'm mad or upset with someone

I know I screwed up,you don't have to tell me twice.

Just let me take my chances,let me roll the dice.

 

Everyone makes mistakes,I'm going to make mine.

I'm better off on my own,Yeah I'm going to be fine.

 

I don't think you realize,Your only pushing me away.

You don't listen to anything I say.

 

You think I'm stupid,You think I'm dumb.

All I really wanna do is have a little fun.

Give me a chance,I can do it right.

When I try to talk to you,Please don't start a fight.

 

I'm going to walk away from this,

With my head in the sky.

I know you won't cry,

When I say goodbye.

 

You'll probably be happy,That I left you alone,

so i won't even try calling,on the telephone.

 

I'll walk away from you,

Just like you want me to.

I won't know what to do,

but I'll act like I don't care.

I keep moving with my life & you'll never be there.

 

So tell me now,is this how it's supposed to be?

You got me here,but you never really wanted me?

 

It's not fair,how you play your games.

I'm taking my life & grabbing it by the reins.

 

Love me for who I am,Not for who you want me to be.

No matter what you do,I'll always be me.

I feel like you intentionally,

set out to break my heart.

Don't you see,it's tearing me apart?

 

So this is it,It all came down to this.

I swung for the ball,You thought I would miss,

but I didn't,You were wrong.

You couldn't figure it out,

It took you to long.

You don't even notice me,

unless I f**k up.

You never stop yelling,

when enough is enough.

 

You don't give me credit,

when I do things right,

all you really wanna do,

is start another fight.

Darling.....I'm so sorry it took me this long to read your request..

I read it aloud - as every poem should be - and It brought me to thinking,
this is exactly what I go through with my father - or . rather. WENT through.

I'm sorry that you felt/feel this way - For what has happened in your life good/bad,
something will come of it - and I'm more than possitive you will take the right path.

Much love,
- AC -

It sounds like someone has set unrealistic expectations for you, and this is you setting them straight. You're totally understood by this lunatic.

Beckah, Nice expression of feelings. You described at least half of America's teenagers thoughts in this piece. You described my relationship with my mother and how I moved out at a young age because it was time. If this is about you Beckah, my desire for you would be to find inner acceptance of your relationship with this person and knowing you cannot change this relationship with any of your works, but you can smile anyway, through the acceptance of it. Does that make sense to you?
Back to your piece; Very nicely done thank you for sharing. I believe from here your pieces are only going to get better as you continue to grow from this point. Do you know what I mean?
