In the wrong

Nimbus 2009 (Texas)

Free verse
You've hurt me
so, so many times
yelling curses
until I go deaf

But I grow tired
so, so tired
I fight back one time
And you begin to cry

I guess I'm the bad guy
The worst of their kind
Only because I'm tired
Tired of trying.

About this poem

This poem came to me when I was thinking of my family, and how it was always my fault.
