the daughter is delinquent because of
her bad attitude and body language
the parents are always right
their problems are the only problems
they know not and care not
about the pain
how she wants to hurt herself
because she doesn't know how to
express her anger and feelings inside
how she wants to just only to scream them all out
but doesn't because the parents
will harp on why she's still
harping on it
now she can't find any reason to live
because she can't feel that anyone cares abt her
they talk about the things
they give and gave
the money they spend
but not about what
they did not give
or about how they
were never the parents
she always wanted
how she looks at other
families in envy and wishes
that she was a part of it
how she wishes she wasn't
born like that
why couldn't she be
smarter
prettier
skinnier
born without the aches
and the pains
the numbing feeling that stuns
her hands her head
when she cries
and they think she's pretending
her hands shake
she never gets so angry
at anything else
so why, what's getting her so mad?
that she traces out
lines in her skin
that pain becomes
a release
for the other pain
the one in her head
the voice screaming that
she's worthless
that no one gives a fugging damn to her
she never gets
what she wants
she can only look on
in despair
or dream of what
she cannot have
the salt trails start to dry
her hands have stopped shaking
she tries to forget it all
but it's a constant
dull ache
she wishes she could escape it all...
