The Weak
Before reading please understand
that I would not write about anything
that I do not know about or
understand. May you try to
understand that some take longer
others and as long as they get
closure that's all that matters...
Hopefully they do.
Age Six
I do but I don't know this game,
See we live in a house and I have my
little tea set so I guess its okay,
You're older so I guess I have to
obey,
I don't really see what's wrong with
playing this way,
Mommy and daddy play this way
everyday,
My nervousness is gone and like
they do every day, can we play?
Age 12
Oh my I can't believe I hit puberty
wow,
And I'm older and its wrong and its
time to stop the game now,
My daddy said he is so proud,
I'm truly is his princess but where's
my crown,
There were so many playing that are
disappointed and now I feel guilty
somehow.
Age 13
Mom, dad please help me please,
I was sleeping when I felt someone
touching me,
Their hand were deep down in my
jeans,
Mom why aren't you doing anything,
Dad they "got help" where's my
counseling,
I know what happened to them but
out of all people why did it happen to
me,
I can't believe it, I truly can't believe,
And it was happening for 2 weeks?
Age 14
My grades are dropping, all I want to
do is sleep man,
Stay out and smoke with my friends,
No I don't need a damn guiding hand,
The last hand I had was in my pants,
My exciting lover is pulling at my waist
band,
I guess I gotta prove in this
relationship where I stand.
Age 17
I can drink, pop and smoke like
crazy,
Some want me to stop, ahahaha
maybe,
I'm a weird ***** I'm not a classy
lady,
Maybe that was wrong to say and I
should stop all for my baby.
Age 18
I feel so empty on the inside,
I daze off so much and I feel numb
most of the time,
And I'm angry and mad and lost in
my mind,
I can't pray no matter how hard I try,
No matter how many pills I still
won't die,
I'm careless and I believe love is all a
lie,
If my child can't cheer me up then
why try why?
I'm trying to overcome and do better
but the more I MENTALLY think
about the positive the more opposite
I ACT.
