Family Destroyed Me

There used to be a time when I Would have sad tears in my eyes Every moment of the day They were here to always stay From the pain my life was in Morning I could not begin To even get a tiny smile To come out its been a while Since joy filled up in my heart There was nowhere I could start To find the happiness I seek Badness slowly seemed to creep On days, afternoon and nights Seeing darkness, never light Trying to make sense of how The way my life is turning out The ways you destroyed my life Was like a stabbing long sharp knife Plunged into the future me Killing off my destiny I have no life pleasures gone How could you do me so wrong Families are supposed to care Love and kindness everywhere Not abuse hate tears and sorrow You wrecked my every tomorrow

We can harden ourselves against the outer world, but families, loved ones, can hurt us in ways we cannot guard against. But the bright side is, when you get beyond this--and you will--you will know the truth love (forgiveness) (and, sadly, only this sort of pain teaches us): you will come out of this dreadful suffering in a beautiful way that will give you joy carried through eternity. Hang in there. Great, bravely honest writing! Keep writing! Voice of experience talking, not textbook stuff.

Yes so true Sometimes pain fills us up because of things done to us but we have to learn to get past it so we can have a brighter future
