Bad Parent

poem by: John Steele
Written on Jun 28, 2016

you know when a bad parent is here you turned out messed up or unless pleasant right here just read what I mean right along here

I am sure we all had our deeds with a parent or two striking upon me
I dealed with years of abuse them all hitting me
some days I wanted to just end all of me
I did some stupid things I am sure we all did the same
don't think wrong of me but the parents made me want to do these things
I started my trying to cut those two wonderful veins
then I turn to a nuse wrapping around certain things
nothing worked because they were jerks always almost catching me
so I turned for the worse 
they beat me cussed at me and they turned me 
they don't know what they did to me when they threw me out that door
I was always so very sore each day I woke up more hurt than before
always lying at school ohhh I ran into a door
they knew I was lying but said nothing before 
until that day I didn't show up at the school door
the phone rang they say to them that day
he is sick he'll be out for a bit
then he turned to me and said you stupid little dick
the problems you cause us its making us sick
I don't know what I did to deserve all of it 
but now I have the power to keep rid of it
it made me stronger to this day to make sure I kepted them bad parents away
so let me tell you all today 
you don't have to suffer at all in any way
speak out to someone near you a cop or lady someone who can help you
don't be afraid cause I was and I am not to this day
I had to stand for myself I was lost either way
I struck back that first and last day he dropped harder than a bag or rocks
it almost sounded like a gravel of rocks 
after it hit the ground I am happy to say I didn't stop punching him anyway
I kepted on hitting hin right in his face 
all you could see is blood gushing from his face
my knuckles bruised covered in blood
soo to see his face was almost gone
to know I beet my bad parents defeat
I know I am safe cause I no longer need to run away
violence is never supposed to be an answer or a solution
but when you have no other option its reasonable either way
don't give up at any day 
keep your life say and make it your day

Wow! What a powerful read. I know the pain of being treated like a burden instead of a blessing. It takes courage to rise above it instead of repeating it. This touched my heart. Thank you for sharing

you are most defiantly right it happens way to often but it made me stronger and harder of a man to hurt but not impossible that is for sure but If can be helped Ill reach out there for others to be helped it was to late for me cause I already beat him to a tree
