You Didn'T Help Poem by Hailey Agnew

She screams and acts out and you think it's just a phase,
but she's falling apart at the seams and she doesn't know how much more she can take.
She cries and hates her life every night and day,
you remember what it was like when she just loved life and played.
But her heart was broken and her home fell apart,
when she cries and writes in her journal she doesn't know where to start.
Everything in her life just seems so wrong,
she loved him and gave it up and now he's gone.
She broke down and acted out,
you only punished her you didn't help.
Nobody understood her and she couldn't explain,
she was going through so much and she was in pain.
You didn't stop and think you just lectured and punished her,
she wanted to be alone and you made it so much worse.
Everything she needed to heal was in the outside world,
and you took it all away from her; her music and her girls.
She has to deal with her heartbreak and new trust issues,
all you did was make her depressed, too.
So now when she's off her grounding,
she's leaving, packing up her things.
She's going to live with her mother,
and though she's giving up so much she knows you don't love her.
She's giving up so much,
and she cries and wishes she never fell in love.
But she just can't stay here anymore,
she's depressed and slamming the door.
This might be a mistake,
but that's a risk she has to take.
