Venting Volcano

Only time they ever say anything
Is when they either want to show sympathy
Or try and scold me
Don't worry, il remove myself
Before fire burning inside me starts to burn things
Best if i stay away from so called "family"
Life beating me down everyday
How much more can i control what burns the seas
I want to let it out
My soul screams and shouts.

Hi Justin, It certainly is difficult to create an environment without a clear head and peace of mind; that families don't always honor. I know this first hand. It takes a lot of strength to persevere, don't give up. Blessings, Paulette

I hear you, Justin. Writing can be a very effective venting process. I know sometimes family can be difficult, so we need to exercise as much patience with them as possible. When all else fails, we can build our own family with friends who understand us.
