The Pain I Feel
The pain I feel Is unbearable
I don’t think It's comparable
Living with them is like torture
Feels like life’s getting shorter
But I’m pushing through
Because I have things to do
Right now I’m just a minor
Though I’m going to become
a Fashion designer
I’ve got a family waiting for me
At 18 I’ll be free
To go with them and live my life
The way a teen should
The pain I feel needs to end
Though for now I’ll just pretend
I’ve got 1 year 10 months left
I’ll try to make it the best
Keeping the move out on the down low
Until everyone’s ready to go
I’ve got a driver and a new family all lined up
I just gotta keep on going
And when I leave I’ll finally be glowing
I can’t be who I wanna be at home
I’m put down for my personality
So I hide in a lil dome
I have abandonment and trust issues
I cry from being disowned but I don’t use tissues
My dad left me without warning, so I use my sleeve
My mom and stepdad are abusive, I just wanna leave!
The pain I feel will come to an end soon…..
1 year 10 months
Move out date 10/24/24

They make you question yourself
Can’t I just be me?

Opal Mate Poem
The candles burned bright
in the dark starry night
the wind was a warm summer's breeze
blowing through the trees
this night was special because it was our first date
and so far it was going great
we sat on the red and white checkered blanket
I finally experienced love firsthand
Now I understand
So I reached for his hand
then he turned towards me with a big old smile
I could only stare just for a while,
He scooted closer then wrapped his arm around my waist
I knew i'd never be replaced,
His grasp was so firm
I didn't even squirm,
I wanted to seem bolder
so I laid my head on his shoulder,
he rest his head on mine
this is totally a sign,
we looked up at the sky just in time
to see a shooting star pass right by,
I told him make a wish
and my stomach sunk in an abyss,
for what he said next gave me butterflies,
He said he wished for us to be for all eternity
I felt his words internally,
I just stared into his truthful honest eyes
I literally almost cried
happy tears of course
for I wouldn't wish for a divorce
but then again this was only our first date
but with those words I knew it was fate.
for you can't look someone in the eyes and
say those words so meaningfully
I leaned in and gave him a kiss
I looked back into his eyes and they were filled with bliss
Then he stood up and pointed at me and said I will put a ring on your finger
Those words will forever linger
In my ear with the memory of our first date.

Opal Mate Poem
My Demons
My demons I feel them creeping in
I can’t let them take over and win
The anger inside, the violence it craves
I hate when my body misbehaves
It’s all a blur, I just let go and everything crashes
I grab my fists, break down It all happens in flashes
I try so hard to control it but it’s built up pain
Then the trauma hits me all over again
I try not to be like them but its all the same
The yelling, and hate it’s such a shame
I tried so hard to not act like my parents
But being stuck with them in this lifestyle
It will never end until I get out, and witness
Life for what it should look like, beauty, and prosperity.

Insecurities part 2
Why is my hair so brown?
I can’t help but frown
I wanna dye my hair
I can’t compare
To those other girls
Their like beautiful pearls
And i’m stuck wondering
Do I even belong?
I hate my nose
I think it shows
That i'm not comfortable
Looking the way I do
I wanna change it all
Then I wouldn’t feel so small
I’d finally be brave enough to
Be who i wanna be and do
What i wanna do without
Any of my doubt
I can walk up to all those guys
And stare them in there eyes
And tell themI think their cute
So im in pursuit
To find myself
The self that makes me happy
