Why?

This poem was written after I had been torn apart by someone in my family. I was told that I was a failure and that I would never be the person that they wanted me to be. The only thing I have to say about that, is that people have an image of who they want you to be. You have an image of who you want to be. Follow the path that lets you choose who you want to be! Only you can make the important choices in your life! Don't make others opinions of you make you who YOU really are!

Why?

For all those times

You've yelled at me,

You've never helped

Me to truly see.

The wonderful person

That I can become.

Shining as brightly

As the noon day sun.

You scream and shout

So loud it hurts my ears.

 The pain that stays

Has chased me all these years.

I remember it all.

How you blamed me

For everything bad

And scolded me freely.

The problems dropped 

To my burdened shoulder,

Forcing me to mature,

To become someone older.

There are scars

And there is pain.

But now I use it 

For personal gain.

If I've gained anything,

I have become stronger.

And with this strength

My heart will last longer.

So now and forever

With a smile on my face,

My life will get better.

Everything will fall into place.

But just one question

Still hangs around

And waits for me

 To my mind bound.

Why?
