My Life

About my life and what I’m going through…
I feel so depressed so alone,
If only you knew what I’m going through,
I feel the urge to call you and tell you everything,
If only it was so easy.

If you think I lead the perfect life,
You’d be wrong,
If you think I have the perfect family,
You’d be wrong.

If you think I have a perfect house,
You’d be wrong,
You think I don’t have worries like you.
You’d be wrong.

What happens behind closed doors,
It can stay behind closed doors,
But what if you went through it?
Would you like to keep it behind those doors?

I hear them shout I hear them scream,
I hear her ask ‘why did you do it?’
I hear him shout ‘because you don’t love me anymore!’
I hear the door slam as I cower in my room.

I hear her cry,
She has been destroyed,
I hear her cupboard open,
I run to her hoping it’s not to late……

I call an ambulance I call my sisters,
All come rushing to the house,
I freeze on the spot when she threatens me….
He destroyed her……

I don’t know how to deal with this….
Getting my feelings and emotions out in the
Open is hard….
Being in my family has made my life such a mess…..
