I am

xqw

I am the child that my parents raised

Crashing and smashing all over the place

I am still that child. Small and afraid

struggling to catch up with every pace

 

I am the child that my friends have made

through insults and venting and anger and pain

like a brick wall stabbed by a blade

and here i stand so close to the flame

 

I am the DNA of my family tree

The branches stretched out

out to get me

as i tape up my mouth

    Discontent and pain run through this poem seeing the past generations and parents as well as a source of hurt. Sad and dark this poem puts the cap on it by the last line. Well written in verse.
