The need for love around me



I wake up to sudden tears, raped by emotions for which I can’t understand, the past I’m trapped in, I can’t let go, I fear the day you leave me like daddy did so long ago, Coke and pills in the bathroom, I seen it all, touched by my cousin I felt it all, scared to speak up, I let myself fall, Mommy yells at me and tells me it’s my fault, I’m drinking again as I’m alone in the dark, the hurt of a
 Virgins tears falling down
on notes of suicide
left around time and time again but could never do the job,
I just want you to love me, why is it so hard to show love to the ones you love most, always doing my best and ending up second best But I’m still here
I guess it was all a test

About this poem

Representation of the mind of a teen who just wanted to be loved now in his 20s, and blamed himself, harming himself and ignoring his own needs, it all starts when his dad leaves but he realises at the end after all the suicidal attempts and pain he’s still here stronger than he thought, it must’ve been a test because he’s not ready to rest.

It’s kinda ironic that I go by Donteperfect, but that’s the point, no one’s perfect and the only thing that comes close is the relationship between the moon and the sun. I hope one day I’ll be able be a peaceful animals rights advocate. I guess I don’t really know the form, I just write from my soul with what comes to mind. more…
