of hiding all alone under the covers
telling herself not to be scared
as mommy and daddy fight...

i thought your poem was brilliant and really from your heart. Don't stop there as in spite of everything you have a talent which should be used as it will give you far more joy than the pain you have had to put with.

I totally relate to this life Tiffany....Both of my parents were alcoholics so I really felt this with you. I'm so glad you've found writing as a release for your anger. I hope you find some peace. Stay strong. Sincerely, Mary

Tiffany, I am sorry to see that your poetry had to have this kind of kick-start, but I am also glad to see that you are using poetry as an outlet for all the grief and sorrow. Put the hurt into words, and leave it there. Don't let pain consume your life. You have a great start here, the work is well organized, well written. The only part that really bothered me was lack of puncuation and the shortening of the word because to cz. That's more like e-mail talk. The message is so serious, I'd like to see more serious treatment. Keep up the great work. Scarlett

Tiffany, as one who felt their world being torn apart exactly as your poem describes - a mighty fine first effort at poetry. I hope your life and your poetry can move on from there...and that you get good advice from the good people here.
