21. Tearless Cries
Why are you doing this, ruining your life?
The only thing you've accomplished is causing stress and strife
We're all trying to help you with this hard and trying time
But you think we're crazy, it's all in your mind

Wow! Talk about hitting the nail on the head! I am a mom who has relapsed a couple times over the last 6 months. It was pretty bad. I have kids, ages 16, 20, and 22. They have literally been...

you were there when I needed you
to catch me if I'd fall
but daddy didn't love me
he didn't care at all
I grew up not knowing that I have a dad, because my dad left me when I was 4 months old and he never cared about me. My mom told me this year, and I looked for him and I found him, but he...

You left me when I was young,
Left me with my falling tears.
I felt like I was no one
For so many long painful years.
This poem reminds me of my dad and what I still feel even now when I live with him. Never stop writing!
I wish, I wish I was daddy's little girl,
I would have a dance with him; into his arms I'd twirl.
I would have someone to hold me close when I get too scared,
Instead I have to dream about it with my best friend Brittany Baird.
I'm 13 years old. I have a dad, but I want him to be with me. We talk on the phone and we say we love each other. But I want him here in my life. I want him to be on my side when my mom...
To have your last name
makes me ill.
You make me so angry
I want to kill!
I'm so glad I was able to find my poem again after so long. Thank you for everyone's kind words. In 2012, my maternal older brother paid for my father’s bus ticket to spend a week where I...
Why do you keep going on like everything's okay?
Treating me the way you do like it's a normal day.
I am confused about who you are and who I am to you,
I'm scared that you will never know who I have grown into.
When I read this poem, i'ts like it was describing my life. My sister is just like that, everything she does, the poem has said it all. Indeed I've liked this poem
I wake up every morning to a sky so blue
And wonder, what did I do?
I sit in my classroom only to daydream about you.
Wondering, what did I do?
I made the same decision you did. I wanted them to have some kind of stability and normalcy in their life. I was selling, using, cooking, etc. The danger I put myself in was enough, but to...
You say you love me, you say you care
And yet, you're never there.
I remember you yelling, screaming, abusing
I don't like it when people fight.
My mom and dad do every night.
I lie in bed and pretend to be asleep.
My mom looks in; I don't make a peep.
I can't sleep. I can't eat, I can't even place a smile on my face. A mom and dad nowhere to be found. Why come? You don’t want me. I’m always pushing away the good and bringing closer the...
Analysis of Form and Technique
My heart aches, Dad,
For the things you won't do.
My soul breaks, Dad,
For all that we've been through.
My dad is a substance abuser. He is abusive physically, emotionally and mentally in every possible way imagine. Since I could remember he has degraded my mum, my brothers and me. My mum...
I'm sorry you missed the day I came home.
I'm sorry you left my Mum all alone.
I'm sorry you missed the first time I walked.
And I'm sorry you missed the first time I talked.
My dad was deported for being caught with drugs a few months before I was born. He wasn't there for any of my firsts. He didn't see me until I was a year old and we moved to Mexico. I grew up...
Forget how to care.
Forget how to trust.
Forget how to love.
For my sanity, I must.
I've been struggling with being an addict since I was 11 years but once I turned 18 everything changed. I was raped and after that I just felt like giving up. So I turned to heroin...
Leaving behind others to take your place,
Carrying on your name, walking around with your face,
Knowing you got left behind,
Wondering what's on my father's mind.
This is my poem. I'm so glad it has inspired so many people.
My dad passed last year, I was able to meet him prior to his passing. Sometimes you just have to forgive people as they do not...
Like the sea and the sky,
We reflect each other, you and I.
Past the moon and the stars,
This relates to me so much.
Why can't you love me and accept me for who I am?
I always try my hardest; I do the best I can.
Can't you see how sad I've been?
The way you treated me must have been a sin.
Once protected, you felt so safe
Now everything you know means nothing;
I see the fear in your face
What are you to do
Your poems changed the way that my soon to be wife and I lived. I made copies and sent them to her. I want to thank your website for helping me.
A silly girl
Loved a stupid boy
He was her everything
She was just his toy
I also was a silly girl in love with a stupid boy that lead me to become a single teenage mother. I prayed everyday for 9 months for god to bless me with a baby boy. My mother walked out of...
I gave you a chance, let you in and tried to be your friend.
I should have known, you wouldn't be there in the end.
I wanted you to love me, I waited for so very long.
what happened to the person
the one I used to know
the one who never let me down
and never told me no
Wow ..it's like story of my life..
My mom has a bf and now she doesn't even want to spend any time with us. She recently kicked me out of her house because she thought I was high..she drug...
Welcome to my broken home,
There's nobody here, I'm all alone.
The walls they scream of things once said,
Can't seem to put into words how you blessed my mind with your poems. They have helped me come out of my shell. Thankful you are comfortable putting this out there for the world to see....
