My dad read my poetry?

I guess I write some really dark stuff. And my dad read it and now he's super concerned. Like he asked me a bunch of serious questions and was thinking of taking to me a psychologist.

I don't think I have issues although I've had a painful past and write my poetry based on those feelings.

What should I do?

    Maybe you could tell him what you told us. That poetry is a way of expressing your feelings, an outlet for your painful past. I mean it's not like you really plan on doing any of the stuff you wrote. Your Dad is probably worried you might actually be doing that dark stuff you've been writing about. If your sure about your sanity, I guess you could just explain to your Dad that writing is helping you cope with the difficult dealings you had in your past. What kind of questions has he been asking you if you don't mind me asking you?

    I read about your brother in your other questions btw. He sounds like a manipulative *******. Does he have a fragile self-esteem? Like he gets everyone in school to like him, he has girlfriends, and he has friends he can manipulate. He eats everything seems to have charisma, but he still has insecurities. Like there must be something that you can say in a way that will make him feel insecure and halt his temper tantrum momentum. There must be a way to call out his behavior without provoking him.

    Like you mention he always eats half the kitchen. You could wait for your moment maybe when he opens the fridge and is just about to eat something. Maybe mention something like so are you going to eat half the fridge again? Or are you going to give someone else in the family a chance to eat for a change? Pause while he looks surprised you aren't getting angry. Then look him up and down. Because believe it or not, other people eat around here besides you. Point to yourself. I'm a person. I get hungry too. Look him up and down again. Other people need to eat besides you. Think about that before you decide to eat half the fridge again. Then smile at him and take something from the fridge maybe tell him I need to get my sandwich (or whatever food you want) in case you decide to eat half the fridge. Excuse me. Take it then leave.

    Your brother like to keep pinching you then beating you up? He starts hitting you maybe push him away and yell. You know you've got a good fifty pounds pounds over me right? You should really start learning to tell size. It's not my fault you're too scared to fight someone your own size. Don't be a big baby and take it out on me. Stare at him for a few seconds. You are a baby. You're just using me as a punching bag to take out your own frustrations and insecurities. That's really messed up. Shake your head and look at him again. Leave me alone. Point to the door. If he doesn't respond say Didn't I just say leave me alone? Did you not hear me say that? Hello? If he shows signs of hesitation, but still doesn't leave get louder. Seriously? I told you to leave. Walk towards him I said leave! Then pause point to the door and at the same time point to the door and yell LEAVE NOW! LEAVE NOW! LEAVE NOW! walking towards him each time as you advance on him forcing him to the door. As soon as he gets out stare right at him for a second and slam that door shut.

    Your brother likes to monopolize the TV so he can play XBOX all day? When you see him start to play pretend to groan and go great it looks like no one can watch TV on here now since you're here. I think he might be surprised and caught off guard if you pick your moment to say this. Then shrug and go, well I guess I'll be leaving because you think you own the TV. I guess no one else uses the TV around here but you. Then shrug again and start to leave. Turn around and face him. Oh btw since you're probably going to play past twelve again I'm probably going to hear that (whatever music halo music?) again. It's been stuck in my head so thanks for that. I'm so glad my taste in music is a lot more interesting than your double kill music. So thanks. Nod. You're doing great. Our electric bill has never been higher. Then proceed to walk upstairs.

    I hope I helped. I know it was long. I've been screwed around with a lot when I was younger so maybe that's why I'm so angry at reading stuff like this. These are only suggestions because I feel so angry at what I read.
