Where my heart used to beat

Is where it now leaks

Used to be happy all day

But now I just hide away

The moon Glistens

And I just don’t listen

Mom says soon I’ll be out

But I still decide to sit around and pout

To me life is just no fair

It’s like the bump in the stairs

Somehow my brothers are so perfect in her eyes

That’s one thing that makes me cry

MOst of the time when I am sad

It makes her and my brothers glad

They laugh

Instead of bath

They break hearts

Tear them apart

 

Life is bad

Really sad

People are not fair

Just won’t stay out of my hair

Sooner than later I’m kicked out

I lie under the bridge and pout

I somehow find tears in my eyes

Tears to cry

I cry all throughout the night


The next day I’m done

I run

I run home

I getaway from that dome

I always held what I felt

Punch only because i have a black belt

I’m tired of holding this inside my head

Knowing that people want me dead

Words that mama said

Repeating over and over again in my head


They don’t notice my sadness

But they do notice each others gladness

All they notice is my mistakes

That’s why when it comes to feelings i feel hate

 

I learned that people change

Some don’t make it through the rain

All i know is that none stay the same

In this poem it expresses some of my feelings but through a black girl in new orleans all that is in this poem is not about me some is from the main character
