Best Angstchild Poems
A.W. Nutter
To many voices inside my head
Each one vying for recognition
Toward insanity I’m being led
Normality forced into remission
A child screams out in his agony
Suffering at the hands of the beast
Innocence destroyed aggressively
Lamb, the main course at the feast
An angry teen searching for love
Finds a young girl full of empathy
Their child is taken by God above
The teen screams out in his agony
Trying to survive a politicians war
As I look at my hands so bloody
Friends dying, demanding more
As my spirit screams out in agony
My time in hell I can easily trace
Life's journey has never been kind
Past memories wishing to embrace
The final vestibules of my mind
The love of my life is my buoy
Guiding me away from the pain
Keeping me anchored in reality
The demons efforts made in vain
He walks with confidence he has protected his family. The successful banker has
done well for his family and his mind is set in stone that he is right eternally.
He does not care if others make the right journey.
He smiles and is satisfied that he rebuked the poor family away from his church. The
poor family with the smart mouth child, who eats too much candy and stole some
quarters. The child whose father rejected him and has no use for his illigetimate son.
The father sends his twenty-five dollars a week to quiet the child support monkey on
his back. The child cries himself to sleep to know his father has no use for him.
Somewhere a hand reaches to the wayward child, to comfort and love. Somewhere
there is love, but not at this disharmonious church!
Don't come to this church unless you have your tithes and clean clothes and know the
rules.
I have come to call the sinners!
The second I see the final day,
the moment I breath my beats away
my heart growing slower
by each second I stay
with each less breath
I have one thing to say,
this is't suicide
this isn't shame
this is one way
to remember my name
my story and how I became
your unloved child
on Earths deadly terrain
I would look
into your lying eyes
and beg to see the man
that I despise
I would ask of you
the honest truth
on how and why
you killed your
daughters youth
hopes and dreams
for nothing I've seen
is what it seems
Father if I just lived one more day
I would make your life Hell,
I would make you pay
for I am a child
whos voice was stolen
and didn't have a choice
I'm not the happy poet
everyone wants me to be
I just wish for you to know
the things in which I see
I would tell the world
with my final breath
To stop this deadly game
for I am a child of envy
and my father delivered the pain
with my last beat
I brought an end to his game
here lies me,
a child driven
insane
