The pain and chaos was just to much for me
The constant fighting and screaming too painful
The memories I have of home are of pain
So now I'm striking out on my own
I'm going to forget the ones I left behind
I'm going to abandon my old life forever
I needed to get out of there fast
Now i'm gone and I'm not comming back
Your not going to hear from me again
I left and whats done is done now
I'm going to learn how to live on my own
Or i'm going to die trying
Because i'm not going back to the fighting
Because i'm not going back to the screaming
Because i'm sick of this shattered family
This is what kept me sane throughtout all of the fighting
This is what I told myself from the very first day
This is what's kept me going from even before day one
The day that I had a car
The day that I was old enough
The day that I had enough money
Its the day I'm leaving this place forever
Take my money out of the bank account
Grab the keys to my car and drive away
The open road will take me somewhere
I really don't care where it takes me
Because with every mile
WIth every mile the pain fades
With every mile the anger fades
With every mile I feel more free
Authors Note: its for my friends older brother. you know who you are man.I'm not going to say more. I know he knows my wattpad username, and I know he reads my poems. He might read this poem at some point. I wrote this for him.
THE THING UNDER THIS IS A NOTICE FOR HIM WHEN HE READS IT-DUDE, ITS GOOD NEWS I SWEAR
if you have read this poem man, then here's the news you wanted. since you haven't called or emailed or anything, i figured I might as well give you the update for when you read this becaue we all know you'll find it at some point
I just want to say thank you on behalf of me and your little brother for doing all you did for him while you were there. Thanks for not breaking. I just want you to know that your little brother is doing fine. He didn't break under the burden. He's stronger than before. The two of you were complete opposits when you left, but he's grown up. He's a smaller version of you. He's doing fine.Its funny, it took you leaving for him to peice himself together. You were right man. He was crushing on her. He's found his soulmate man. She's the best thing thats ever happened to him. Thats a Miracle right? Well he's off the Anti-depressants now. He's so happy now its scary dude-as in Alex kind of happy. Thats all there is to tell you. And thanks, again, for being there for him.
Dude, seriously, call or email us at some point if you want an update. you know the world is going to end before your brother's phone is turned off or dies on him. Other than that, i hope your doing good.
