My Hell Is Home
NOTE: i need to get it out. or i feel i will pass out for the feelings i describe are what i have to hide. for my school is a hell enough then i get home and it gets tough.
Came home late
To postpone the hate
To forget the wars
That is behind closed doors.
To forget the hurt
To forget the pain
But it doesn’t matter
I got it all the same
The door has closed in the night
And the feelings gave me a fright
For he kicked me in the head
Told me he would make me dead
Yelling kicking screaming
Saying why am I so late
“your grounded get to your room.
Picked myself up from the floor
And wiped my bleeding lip
Held my hands on my side
Another broken rib
Stumbled on the stairs
It hurts and I am numb
Closed the door in my room
And reached for the gun
BANG !
I took my life
I am not prisoner her now
As my soul floats to heaven
I am finally free now
