Not Perfect -Poetry-

Distance

Sometimes you just need to get away from everyone,

To be free.

Not every kid wants to move across the country for no reason,

But when problems arise they wish for it every night.

You were my problem.

My nightmare.

I wanted to be on the other side of the world, or another planet.

But that's impossible so instead I hoped for death,

10 years I have been wishing.

You made a six year old want to kill them self,

You are truly evil.

16 years old, and wishing for death is not how I wanted to live.

Afraid to love, afraid to live, afraid to dream.

I don't want to live like this I want to be free,

But I can't.

I'm trapped.

I'm being held down by the two people I love the most.

My mother and my brother.

My mother keeps me happy and loved and my brother keeps me going.

They may not know this but if they were to leave,

I would die.

I have no purpose without them and I'd rather die than try to succeed.

Distance can be a good thing in some cases,

But in others it's the wrong turn.
