I have problems

even though some times I act

like the words i hear and get yelled in my face

don’t hurt me (they do)

I some times argue with my parents

I still love them.

They know.

But sometimes I don’t know how to put it in words

except “thank you”.

I remember how you used to take care of me

I remember how every night I would be scared

You would let me sleep in your bed

I would snuggle next to you.Thank you.

 

My parents argue

Sometimes I hide my face underneath my pillow

It doesn’t work so I run and hide in my room

while they argue today

I got in an argument with my parents

I wanted to cry. I did.

It didn’t help.

Writing this paper helped a lot.

now i know how my parents feel about me talking back

“I am sorry.”

Sorry for everything

for not saying thank you

for not being nice,

for being rude and not listening

I LOVE YOU  in big letters

and i know that cursing doesn’t solve everything

but sometimes i cant stop my self.

 

My parents argue and I don’t like it

and if that is how they feel solves the problem

then don’t do it in front of me or my brother and baby sister

because what they say to each other is what my siblings say to one another.

My family isn’t perfect

but sometimes I solve my problems

with writing, signing and dancing

to get it out of my head

like it were an illusion.

so i draw,sing and write in my journal

a place where I have no problems.
