Hurting Poem by Teens

Pain Is All I Know

One day I was in math class and I just started writing. At first I thought I was writing for a friend who is going through tough times, but I was really writing about myself. When you read this don't feel sad for me, because I'm not. I got through this and hope that by letting people read this it will help them too.

Painful Memories

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011 with permission of the Author.

Pain is not an emotion I know
Yet it's all I know
I can't feel it
Nor can I heal it

It happens all the time
For me, it's all I know

I've experienced first hand a fathers abuse
Yeah, sometimes it hurt
But I grew numb to the pain

I've witness my mother cry
And every time I wanted to die

That's all in the past now
But the memories still last

This may be hard to believe
For a girl whose just sixteen
But when I think the memories have left me
They come back to haunt me

You may find it hard to believe
But sometimes late at night I cry
Until I feel dead inside

So don't think I don't know pain
Because pain is all I've know.
