Im Running From My Failing Foundations Poem by Daniel Richards

Im running from my failing foundations
And I tried to give you fair warning
Told you everything all out and bare, but nobody’s listening
Tried too communicate over the years, inbetween the screaming voices, petulance
And crocodile tears, the fear of hearing violence and screaming, as a child it broke me and as a teen you choked me and now im a man and ill you neglect the fact not once on this path have given a choice too my will,

And now you want my help after all the years you told me you could do without, me my mind and a mistake is from what I came, it’s a shame as now you reach out a hand I stand back watching no longer your child just a man, a stranger that your used too, took all the mental beatings yes I wasn’t perfect but closer to it than you
You’ve always resented me,
Forget the good ive done leaving me feeling empty
Forgetting all the hurt ive learned to hide so well
Forget the pretending no one can save you from yourself
