When I was born I knew you didn't want me,
that was alright with me.
The day you pushed me down the stairs I bleed for an hour,
I didn't shed a tear.
When Mother told me not to ask why you were never home,
I listened intently and nodded like a good girl.
When Brother hit me in the arm I hit him back,
always trying to impress the uninterested.
The night two boys followed me home wavering a price on my head,
I kicked them to the ground, just like you said.
All I want is for you to notice.
Though I know you won't.
You never will.

Thank for that very good advice, I might look up to this man known as the "lord" or so "God".

u shud chek out my poem called "M.F.".....it deals wit neglect & im sure it wil leave u touched....;)
nice job, Emma.
"When I was born I knew you didn't want me"
this line does not sit right with me.
hate to get technical here Emma but when you were born you couldn't possibly have known anything bar where to feed from. i do get what you are saying here so maybe it's fine,however if you felt you might want to change it a bit;
"When I was born you said you didn't want me
that was alright with me." would be my suggestion.
other than that, this is pretty good on the eye, it reads well and has good punctuation.
p.s "I might look up to this man known as the "lord" ha!
great stuff.!

I suppose my wording was wrong, I didn't even mean it that way. I meant as when I was born they already didn't want me, I guess I just worded it wrong.
I thank you for a critism, it helps.
P.S Thank you for taking note in my sarcasm.
