why I write

why do I write??

Who do I want to hear me?

Who am I crying out in anguish to?

My parents.....

for nearly 18 years I've tried to be heard

tried to be noticed

tried to tell them what they made me feel

But they've never heard me

so...

year after year I try and try some more

year after year I become more closed within myself

when will I crack?

when will I break?

When will i decide that enough is enough?

ENOUGH ALREADY!!

I'll never be heard unless I keep trying

So try I will and break I will never

Listen up everyone...

I've found my voice
