emotional abuse

i wish there was a way to save you. to get you out and far away from where you are. i wish there was a way to make you happy and keep you that way. but every time i try and help you she cuts you down. 'you're ruining your future', 'you're throwing your family under the bus', 'i will never forgive you if...'. these are all common phrases in your house. as soon as you walk through the door, she cuts you down. she doesn't see what she's doing to you, she doesn't care. she doesn't know that because of the things she says that ive promised i'll always be there. its almost your birthday, you're almost sixteen. and i have to say, ive never seen your mom be so mean.
how do you save a friend from emotional abuse, when it surrounds them everyday. shes not allowed to tell most people, not allowed to move away. her dad, out of state, has no idea what goes on, because anytime she tells someone she gets yelled at. 'you had no right!'
everyone involved can see what a monster she is turning out to be. shes abusing you and she doesnt even know, the sad thing is, you'll never let it show.

a girl's room tells all

after looking around my room ive realized anyone can look at it and find out everything about me.
they'll see i love my dogs (my past one and the one i have now), family, and friends. they'll see that i am a very colorful, loud person. that i don't keep alot to myself, i let every know how i'm feeling all the time. they'll know i have a best friend who is very important to me. i looove watching movies and i keep all the tickets from the theaters. i like it when people right me poems and draw me pictures. im good at school and i like it. im a messy unorganized person who likes sleep and my bed. also, i adore reading. and i have this little dream of changing the world some day.
so if you ever see my room, you'll understand what i mean.
my room really does tell all, even if it doesnt look like it could. when you walk in there, my whole life's story is painted all over the walls and covers the not so pretty (or clean) carpet.
