Breaking Point

Why does it hurt,

Why does it quell,

Why does it make

My pain dwell,

Why did he have

To say those things,

Why, oh, why,

Does it sting,



Why am I buried,

Left for dead,

We were both taught better,

Yet, better’s been said,

I can’t understand,

Can’t comprehend,

Why, why can’t I take a stand.

He shouldn’t say those things,

Why am I to blame,

He shouldn’t look at me,

Why does he put me to shame.

How come I feel so unloved,

Why am I shattered,

So aprupt,

Why has my day,

Gone to peices,

One event,

One small dent,

Yet now I find I’m shattered.



As a mirror,

A million peices,

Why oh why am I hurting,

Why am I in pain,

Why is it on me

He has set the blame,

Why the words,

Why the anger,

I didn’t even

Wait or linger.

Why did he speak,

What he spoke,

Why can’t I brush it off,

Take it as a joke,



Why can’t I stop,

Crying inside,

Why did he say what he said,

Why did he say the words I dread,

Why is it that,

Once at home,

The words I hear

Around me elsewhere,

Echo in my ears,

Find me, keep me locked up

To shed these tears,

Why did he have to say those things,

Why, oh, why,

Does it sting...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

... my dad and I... well... It's my job to walk the dog, and of course, put the leash back. It's the kind that's got the plastic holder that retracts the leash into it and... when my dad opened the closet door, where you hang it up, it fell and hit his foot. He started swearing and then looked at me and screamed, "You little shit!"
... I was scared, so I ran away... and he yelled for me to come back there... but I didn't want to. And before I closed my door, I yelled, "You shouldn't call me that!" ...

He normally... he swears... but he's never sworn at me.. called me things before... *sigh* I... It.... I guess it really bothers me. That's what this poem is about...
