Child

poem by: Angel S
Written on Jan 01, 2015 

I’m trying to tell you,
But I’ve not learned to speak.
Then I get yelled at,
And in return I become weak.

What did I do wrong,
To deserve an angered tone?
All I wanted was love,
Where love isn’t being shown.

I wanted the toy that plays music,
To sooth me to sleep.
Yet when I got up to get it, 
Your angered words I did meet.

I just wanted to help you
In putting those dishes away.
Yet when I grabbed a plate,
You yelled in thinking I did not obey.

I just want to help you,
Yet you return with angered words.
It’s as if everything I do now,
Comes back with anger in thirds.

I’m just a little child,
Learning from you.
Yet when I do what you’re doing
It’s always wrong to do.

So forgive me if I sit here
In silence and fear.
You won’t take the time,
To understand what’s so clear.

and then have to break the cycle with your own children. often people become like there parents and we repeat their mistakes. some shouldn't have children. I have thought against becoming my mother and have made mistakes but I have made sure I improve along the way and I am doing a beautiful job with my children

Blue eyes of porcelain glass, Hold back tears in breaking mass. Twisted are those locks of honey That become wheat when it’s sunny. Caring made her heart so bold, Yet fools knew of her story soon to be told. Around her fe... Read more
