Angry Poems about Family
Poems about Anger and Pain
There is nothing more painful than fighting between family members. Whether between parents who are married or divorced, or between siblings, there is nothing more bitter than watching people who once loved each other say painful things to one another. Family member know each other better than anyone. They know each other's vulnerabilities and can hurt each other in the most private and intimate places. So before you say something to a family member, no matter how much you think that they deserve it, remember, the pain of the memory of this encounter will last much longer than the satisfaction of a good one liner.

1. Always My Father But Never My Dad
You Missed OutI'm sorry you missed out when I went to school for the first time,
And you didn't have me tell you that you were all mine.
I'm sorry you weren't there to take me to the mall,
And you weren't there to tell me I have to stand tall.
Sorry you weren't the one I saw when I came home that day
Or the one I'd run to when I had a bad day.
I'm sorry you didn't hear me write these; you'd have been so proud,
And you weren't there to lift me up on a cloud.
Sorry you weren't there to tell me there's nothing to fear,
But then again you should have been here.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to teach me to ride a bike,
Or the one who took me on my first ride.
I'm sorry you weren't the one who carried me on his back.
That was my other daddy, the one I actually had!
Or the one who held me tight when strength is what I lacked.
I'm sorry you weren't the one to hold me when I cried
Or tell me I did great when I really tried.
I'm sorry you were never there to teach me how to cook
Or there at night to read me my favorite book,
I'm sorry me as a daughter is what you never had.
You will always be my father, but you will never be my dad.Latest Shared StoryI am so deeply sorry. I, too, fantasized about a wonderful future with my dad in the picture. He made lots of promises to me when I was younger and I believed in him. But now I know that it...

2. Dear Mom
Poem By Child Betrayed By MotherDear Mom,
You said you'd always be there
But you're nowhere to be found
I can't believe you left me
I feel so low beneath the ground
There's nothing I can do now
I trusted you with all my heart
But now you're gone
You're the one who tore my life apart
I've learned not to trust
There's nothing more to say
You've lost someone special
You can't get back each day
Now you're the one left in the dark
And all of a sudden you feel my pain
You expect me to take you back
But you still feel you're not to blame
I could never forgive you
Even if I tried
You can never make up
For the lonely nights I've cried
You will never know the feeling
Of losing the person you need the most
To laugh and cry and love you
Instead of making you feel like a ghost
I've moved on with my life
Without you by my side
My pain has kept so long
I'm telling you how I feel inside
In a way I want to thank you
Because of you I'm strong
I just wanted you to know
I didn't turn out wrongLatest Shared StoryMy story began when I was a baby. I got taken into a family, but my sister and brother (only 1 and 2 years older) stayed with my mom. She had another baby girl 2 years younger than me who...

3. Blind
I'm Not Like YouYou are blind.
You can never see
All the anger built up in me.
I hated life,
I wanted out.
You didn't care.
You would just shout.
I felt so alone,
Thought I didn't need anyone.
Turns out I just needed a mum.
The black sheep,
I was never a part,
Furthest away from your heart.
Things have changed.
I'm growing old.
I don't need you;
You still feel cold.
I'm now out of sight,
Out of mind.
I don't need you, I'll do all right.
I don't need your blessing
Or your cash.
Without your help I'll make a splash,
Land on my feet with a crash.
I'm happier than ever.
My life's brand new,
And most of all,
I'm not like you.Latest Shared StoryI can totally relate. My whole life I thought my parents were in love and that we were a happy family, minus some flaws. But last year, I found out the truth. My parents have been married for...

4. Mother
Abuse From MotherLike the sea and the sky,
We reflect each other, you and I.
Past the moon and the stars,
You promised you loved me that far.
Now all the lies you've told
Have burrowed a hole deep inside my soul.
All those memories we share,
All that pain I cannot bear.
You broke my heart
Finding pleasure in tearing me apart.
Because of you, my happiness never lasts.
Because of you, I can only find darkness in my past.
You broke me down,
Left me collapsed in agony upon the ground.
You broke every promise that you ever made,
But still for your sins I must be the one who pays.
You stole my innocence that very day,
Leaving me no other choice but to walk away. -
5. Father Everlasting Love
Anger For FatherFalling in my pit of darkness
I sit upon the black rose of sadness
Dreaming of a day filled with happiness
Only to end with loneliness
Open eyes wonder why
Looking at life pass by
My hollow eyes begin to fill with crimson tears
As you still don't see the fear
My life starts to darken
As my heart become broken
I am trapped in shame
For you I blame

The love I hold for you is dying
Why do you keep on trying

Your smile is upside down
Is it cause I'm taking a stand

6. My Dad
Poem About Disappointment After Finding Biological DadI wished so much
for my biological dad,
but now that I've got him,
I'm feeling very sad.
My world, my guide, my father
who I know nothing about.
I pretend to laugh and smile,
but really I scream and shout.
I don't feel like his daughter.

So much of my life

7. I Needed You
Not Getting Love From MotherWhen I was sad and depressed,
I needed you to be cheer me up.
Instead, I drank till I was numb enough not to feel anything.
When everyone was attacking me and putting me down, making me feel so low,
I needed you to be the one to defend me and be on my side.
Instead, I endured all the cruel words and criticism the world threw at me.
When I lost all my friends and had no one,
I needed you to be that only friend I had left.

I needed you to stop me and tell me how important I was.
Instead, I hid my scars and became oblivious to everyone.
When I would cry myself to sleep at night,
I needed you to wipe the tears away.
Instead, I held my pillow tight while never-ending tears streamed down my face.
When my world was crashing down on me,
I needed you to be the one I ran to.
Instead, I locked myself in my room in complete despair.

8. How Do You Call Yourself A Mom?
Poem About Broken Relationship With MomLooking in your eyes
Tells me something's wrong.
Never began to realize
You've neglected for so long.
It seems you're never there,
You never really try,
And every time I want to be with you
You make up stupid lies.
I feel as if
I'm just your friend,
That you hate being around,
So don't pretend.
Don't say you love me
With that dreadful tone.
It doesn't make sense
Why you never answer your phone.
It's pathetic to know
You had three daughters,
But you have nothing to do with any of them;
That truly makes me wonder.
Sure our family has had problems,
But not that bad that you can ignore,
So if you expect me to stick around,
I'll walk right out of the door.
You wonder why I live with dad.
At least he does try.
Daddy has always cared about me.
Do you know how much this makes me cry?
I feel like you're dead
Because you're never there.
You're dead to me.
How is that fair?
I have never done anything to hurt you,
And your boyfriend comes before me?
That's bull crap, Mom.
Pay attention to me.
It's always poor, poor, pitiful you.
You always have problems.
You tell me your troubles
Like I'm supposed to stop them?
You used to call every day
Just to see how I was doing.
Now it's like you don't own a phone
As my emotions are brewing.
It's so hard not to cry
Knowing my mother is barely around.
I see girls so close the their mothers,
But it's as if mine is already in the ground.
Do you ever cry over me, Mom?
Do you ever stop and wonder
About how I am doing?
You're just a silent thunder.
I hate loving you.
There's no point if it's not returned.
My sisters hate it too.
I feel like my skin is in a blazing fire being burned.
Trying to smile
When I'm with you, never seem to faze me.
You were always the "cool mom"
But now you don't care about me.
So now when you need me,
I hope you know I won't be here.
I hope one day you read this
And it brings a world of fear.
I don't want your hugs
And fake understanding.
I want a mom
Who is never-ending.
I'm sorry, Mom,
But I gotta say
I'll always love you
But never look my way!Latest Shared StoryI can feel this poem. My father died early. I live with my 2 siblings and mother. My grandparents pay for everything for us. My mother is a good person only towards my siblings. She takes me...

9. Can You Hear Me?
Where were you when the tears fell?
When the blood began to flow?
Where were you when I was scared?
When all my skies were gray
And I lost all hope?
Where were you through all the years?
When it all began?
Where were you when I was hurt and bleeding, when I needed you?
Where were you when I was sad and in jail?
When there was no strength left,
And where the hell are you now?
When it all came down and the walls were crashing in,
All was lost and gone, and when I fought?
Where were you when I stayed up and cried myself to sleep each night
And I tossed and turned?
And where are you now?
That I'm stuck and there's nowhere to turn?
So I ask you this, where will you be
When the walls come down again?
Where will you turn when the tables turn
And there is no where to hide or no one to blame? -

11. My Father And My Dad
Poem About Son Loving Step-Father Vs. Real DadHurrying to pack up all your stuff in the middle of the night.
All because your Mother and Father are in another abusive fight.
You hear all that yelling and screaming at such a young age.
It feels like a scared dog that's trapped in its cage.
But your Father beating your Mother until she can't take it no more.
I walk out of my bedroom to see her bloody and lying on the floor.
I was only three years old, but these memories still run through my head.
No wonder all my life I told everybody, that my Father was dead.
He did nothing to help my Mother with my sister and me.
Mom was always working her fingers to the bone to take care of us three.
Then she met someone who put us all first in his life.
Together they had a baby and he made her his wife.
He has done more for me than my own Father has, and that makes me mad.
But that's why he'll be my Father and you'll always be my dad.Latest Shared StoryThis tells my whole life growing up. I'm now 21 but growing up I watched my dad beat my mom and me but hurt her more than me and now my mom got married about 4 years ago to my step dad. I...

Where were you
When I needed help
Where were you
When I was alone
Where were you
When I had nothing
Where were you
When I was scared

As death knocked at my door
You were watching me
Need love and attention
You were watching me
Lose self-esteem
You were watching me
When I forgot truth
You were watching me
Believe lies
You were watching me
When I sought understanding
All this time you only watched
My own mother ONLY watched.Latest Shared StoryWhen reading this poem I felt full of tears in my eyes. It makes me think of my own past and how my parents and brothers left me all to myself to struggle in life. Nobody have ever been there...

13. Dear Mom
Poem About a Miserable LifeStanding in self-hatred,
drowning in my tears.
Looking back on my life,
what I've been through the past 18 years.
Living in my brother's shadow,
everything I do and say,
wishing somehow things would change,
praying for a way.
Same old crap just another day,
living this evil life that was created just for me.
Starving for love, affection, and attention,
I know none of this is how it's really supposed to be.
I try to be strong,
even though I feel so weak.
Feel like just giving up,
but I won't accept that level of defeat.
Pretend like I'm always happy,
although I'm never really okay.
Waiting for this pain to end,
that I feel every stupid day.
It's hard to say what's wrong,
when nothings going right.
Hard to keep myself going,
when I've been blinded by sight.
This pain is never ending,
it just goes on and on and on.
It's all so unbelievably real,
I just wish it all was gone.
Trying to pick myself up,
when I've fallen so far and hard.
But I don't know where I'm going,
It's all so very dark.
My heart is weak, my emotions sore,
I do my best to never let it show.
But deep down inside I feel like,
I'm dying and nobody knows.
A lot of messed up thoughts,
run through my head constantly.
I just wish I didn't live,
this life of MISERY!
Written by: Katrina Randklev

14. My Father Left Me Behind
Poem About a Father LeavingLeaving 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.
He didn't even think to try.
To leave my mother with tears going down her face,
Left me only to embrace,
Only for me to ask her why?
My mother can give me answers;
My father left behind.
For he can give his love to another,
But can't give his love to me,
My mother would give her life,
As she's given life to me,
My father I hope to love.
Will he ever really love me?
He can take and make a life and keep living on,
But what is it like to live without a father,
He doesn't even know,
Because he doesn't even care,
He left me alone.Latest Shared StoryMy dad left me because I came out to my family, and he didn't love me for who I am. He was against gays and didn't accept me for who I am, and instead, he packed his bag and never looked...

who doesn't love me back.
Tell me how to respect someone
who doesn't deserve my respect.
Tell me how to trust someone
who betrayed me so badly.
Tell me how to care for someone
who never cared about me.

16. Set Her Free
The Abuse Will StopWhy do you do this to her?
Why do you make her cry and hide her fears so deep inside?
Is she not beautiful enough or does she not have enough wit or charm?
Why is that you make her feel like a dog that you have chained to the tree and trained to answer only at your beck and call?
Misery and pain is what you have taught her to believe in,
Will she ever get the courage to run and get away?
To me you are the devil in disguise
Constantly standing over her watching from the corner of your eye.
Do you think you're perfect?
Do you think that we should just sit back and watch her become more miserable every passing day
Because you have taught her to believe that without you she can't get by?
You credent, you rodent, you evil man in my eyes
I see the truth and from me you cannot hide!!!!
Some may sit back and watch you make her die inside,
But as for me I will bring back that sparkle I have seen in her eyes.
I will not cover for you I will not lie.
I will not sit back and let your wickedness slowly kill who she really is so deep inside.
Courage and bravery is what I will make arise from my beautiful aunt.
You try to keep for yourself to hide your own pity and worthlessness,
you are no better, you are no good,
Wake up and face the truth
Without her you are nothing but a menace to society
A fake, a fraud, and a pitiful excuse for anyone to call a husband
But even more you're not even worth having the title of being called a man.
Let her go, let her live, let her be set free.
Hide in your corner and reflect on what you are
Because while you try to hold her there and constantly whisper how she is no good and can never do right
I will be there beside her constantly praising her and directing her to another world far from you.
She will win, you will lose and one day she will wake and see you for the beast we know you to be.
All the misery all the pain all the tears and agony you have dished out
Will one day come to haunt you and bring you down
The way you have her.
While you huddle in a corner so lonely and cry your selfish tears
She will be happy and free to live her life
And be able to finally become who she has always wanted to be...
You're the devil on her shoulder I'm the angel
And in the end the good always wins...Because you have to have her.
I want to have her, you have to make her think you love her
I just smile and she knows...It's a fair game
Let me show you who will win, it will not be you, it will not be me
But it will be her
And she will finally be the woman we know her to be.
I wish you well and bid you goodbye
Because from this day you are nothing to me but a speck of dirt passing by
You credent, you rodent, goodbye!!!Latest Shared Storyyou seem so hurt by the way you are expressing your emotions. it seems your family hasn't had an easy life and I deeply feel for you and your family. this poem is amazing you should really do...

17. Just A Title
Just a title
Nothing more
I am sorry to say
We have no rapport
Better this way
Than playing pretend
This is the way I have come to contend
Just a title
Nothing more
I'm finally able to close the door
You did this yourself
All on your own
I hope you like feeling alone
I have tried too much
Now I am tired of holding the clutch
Just a title
Nothing more
Is what I have decided for
You made your choice
Now you must lie
Now I see your chosen side
Just a title
Nothing more
'Mother' now I shut the door.Latest Shared StoryI truly know how you feel here. I have tried so hard for my mother's love.

18. New Life
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.
For a long time, I've tried to make you proud.
But instead of encouraging words, I get put down.
Stop trying to live my life for me.
I'm not a kid anymore, damn it, just let me be.
You don't like my friends, boyfriend, or anything I do.
Tell me, what the hell did I ever do to you?
You married a jerk, who disrespects me.
You always take his side, and turn against me.
I've moved in with my dad and Joan.
They welcomed me with open arms; this is my new home.
They treat me with respect, and they love me for me.
No matter what, I'm here for them, and they're here for me.
I've never felt this happy before; happiness for me was rare.
Now that I'm happy in this new life of mine, do you even care? -

20. Learning My Lesson
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,
I didn't want to feel the hurt, but you still did me wrong.
I always had hope, I never wanted it this way,
No matter how hard I tried, You always pushed me away.
I should have known, You never really cared,
You let us leave, You were never even scared.
We never turned back, your own brother helped us board.
Never caring what was ahead, through it all we sure soared.
There were times, whether good or bad,
When I was a little girl, I should of had my dad.
You weren't there when I was young, You never got to see,
You don't have a clue, You don't even know me.
Every single birthday, They all went by,
You never saw those candles go out, never my dad by my side.
But you should know, I had someone there,
He's special to me, and his name is Ger.
But not even him can take away, all these years of pain,
Through all of this hurt, there is still a lot to gain.
Without even knowing, you taught me good lessons for life,
I will do what I can, because my husband deserves a good wife.
I will stick by his side, never let things go bad.
Because I have chosen a man, who will always be a good dad.
You have made me wise, much more than my years,
All this hurt and pain, I have learned a lot through the tears.
I have been so mature, much more than even you,
What can I say, I guess you didn't know what to do.
You think I don't know, maybe it's I didn't want to,
But me being younger, I will always be more mature than you.
I stand up for myself, believe in what I say,
And always know, I treat people the right way.
There is no more to say, nothing more I can do.
Any chance of a relationship for us, is now and forever through.
You threw that away, many years ago with the lies,
Funny thing though the truth, you must know, it never dies.
