One of My Poems...

Hello.

I wrote this particular poem in my Creative Writing class in High School about two years ago. I had a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Pamela Ill. She was and is, by far, my favorite teacher ever.

This poem was in a collection of poems about relationships. Just relationships in general, so any relationship at all (good or bad).This happens to be a sort of dark poem, but I view it as my best.

Leaving

Here I lay on the ground
My head is spinning round and round
I'd like to say this wasn't your fault
And that I've taken this like an adult
You've beaten me once, twice, and more
Now I'm bruised and bleeding on the floor
You've been like a vicious dog--I do not understand
Why as I lay here I still reach for your hand
I'm so confused as to what to do
I can't take anymore of this from you
What will happen if I say
That I want to go far far away?
Would you lose all control?
Would you make me pay your toll?
Would I have to pay in my own blood?
Would you take too much and cause a flood?
But now I realize
I won't have to look into those frightening eyes
I could easily leave without you knowing
Away and safe tears of joy will be flowing

Thanks for reading.
