Here is another one of my old poems for you guys to read - it's titled 'Promises' and i wrote it last year when things were a little dark and rough at home.

Promises
I keep thinking back to that time,
A time when the world was a happier place,
When you made a promise to me,
You said – ‘Son, i love you with all my heart.
I will never harm you nor leave you.’

I look back on that promise now, and all i see is lies.
You said you would never harm me,
But why is my face bruised and scarred from a childhood of beatings?
If you say you love me,
Then why did you destroy my happiness?

If you truly cared for me,
Why do i feel so abandoned?
If you truly wished for my happiness,
Why am i living in self-loathing?

I keep thinking back to that time,
A time when the world was a happier place,
When you made that promise to me,
And all i see now....

Is lies.
