"A Beautiful Day"
Theres a curse in this house,
It torments the soul,
Itll kill us all,
Young and old.
I feel its presence,
It hears my cries,
To face it now,
Would be unwise.
It feeds off screams,
Gobbles up lies,
It wont consume me,
Though hard it tries.
The curse in this house,
Is anger and hate,
Getting out alive,
That is my fate.
Their words scratch,
Their slaps bite,
I wont survive,
Another fight.
This life is hard,
But I continue to live,
I am not Jesus,
I will not forgive.
I plan my future,
To break away,
Doubt creeps in,
Im convinced to stay.
But I wont be fooled,
They dont care,
Her mindless looks,
His anger glares.
Ill leave tomorrow,
Go far away,
This house wont see
Another day.
I break down the door,
The windows shatter,
I burn down the house,
And ashes scatter.
Black smoke rises,
So do their screams,
One last time,
Their anger taints me.
With my back to that house,
All I can say
Is, My God
What a beautiful day!

Hi,
Reading through your poem I was a bit confused
as to why you called it ''A beautiful day'' since it's
message indicated no connection with the title -
but your last verse put it together for me.
A sad tale, but well written.
Good luck!
Tommy
