Broken Poem by Francine Pangelinan

You never ask me about what I think
What am I saying you never ask me about anything
You always assume that I’d go with it
You think I’d be happy to do it but no I don’t like it not even a little bit
I HATE it when you keep me out of your choices
What am I still doing here if you decide on your own I’m just hopeless
You’re never here to begin with
And is you are I’d run dip
We hardly ever talk or hang out
I’m not even sure if we’re still a family if all we do is yell and shout
I don’t want to keep putting up with this
Our family is breaking apart….Pieces by pieces
And every time I think of it I break down and start to cry
Because what I would have left is a family that will eventually die
There is no love going on in this heartless family
There’s only fighting hardly any laughter and it scares me
