M's Poetry
My Family
* I wrote this while thinking about my grandmother and cousin going to court next Mon,
(they) especially my grandmother is trying to put everyone on the spot
about going to support "her"....I wish not to go because I just can't
go against one family member for another...
k I have rambled and explained enough, on with the poem*
My Family
I am pressing
I am repressing
all these emotions
left on a roller coaster
I am coming down
because you dragged me
into hot gravity
my feet are burning
everywhere I turn
seems wrong.....
I don't know
but the sinking feeling
is consuming my soul
I told you
I love you both
but that is never enough
you said take a stand
well here I am
I am becoming shreds
all the things she says
manipulation in my head
and you are weaving the web
why can't I say
to hell with it
why can't I say
I don't care
it's because I do
it's because I am tied to you
and to you....
That's the dysfunction
of my family
I would laugh
if I didn't cry so much.....
