When I try to talk calmly all she does is yell. When I yell back she yells at me for yelling. Every time I have plans she squashes them and tells me I can’t do them. When I don’t have any plans, she tries to make it stay that way. The only reason I have a life if because I leave without asking, and though it gets me in trouble it’s the best decision I make everyday. I’m not going to have a parent forever so she needs to back off and let me learn for myself.

Hi! I've been posting my poetry to this website because I just have so many random poems and written thoughts in my notes app and some how the only way to let a lot of those feeling and thoughts go is to make it in some way public so it isn’t my my thoughts anymore it’s someone else’s just in my words if that makes sense. (a lot of these are from highschool or when I was younger) So anyway Enjoy!
