You make me miserable everyday you make me want to wish my life away everyday I suffer and cry you think its funny when I scream and you tear me apart deep on the inside You make me wish things were different I want to love you and think you love me you make it hard for me to love others too You frighten me sometimes when you get mad I think you will hit me but you dont when you tease me yelling and threatning I crumble in your hands I dont think you care or ever did I want to say I hate you but dont want to admitt after the tears are dried and the water is settled I search for the kindness within you to just find nothing because you never show I just wish you would love me and to wipe my tears away

Hey, Pinkdinosaurs here to review :)

This poem is really meaningful, and has a lot of true potential. If you were to put pauses it would have gave an even more effective plot to the whole poem, you know like a dramatic pause, which would be really awesome, but it's up to you of course. I found this really interesting to read because the title 'Misery' was intriguing to start, but once I read to first sentence i was pulled in so much faster, and I loved it!!! So much!!!

Okay, love, let's review this.

I feel that since you described the incident with your father and said that it drove you to express like this, I shouldn't review this as harshly as I normally would a poem.

Your hurt and emotional trauma is explicitly clear through the hushed lines and lack of punctuation and breaks, which gives it a rushed tone. It's very good and powerful, but a bit heavy. The reader can feel the burden you do.

I also urge you to seek help. From what you have described, your relationship with your father isn't healthy.

If you ever need to talk, I'm here, and so is all of YWS.

Keep writing and stay safe.
