As the tears roll down my face.
Memories begin from another place.
Little girl on the floor.
Daddy is calling her a whore.
He grabs her by the hair.
And drags her up the stairs.
To a place called hell.
One she knows all too well.
He throws her on the bed.
And begins to hurt her again.
Mommy where are you I need you so.
Where do you always go?
As another tear rolls down her face.
Her mind wanders to another time, another place.

This is about my childhood. I hope that it might help another.

This is heartwrenching.
Though I feel like it could be more personal
if it wasn't ryhmed.
Though I am glad this is about your past,
and not about your present.
Good luck in the contest and I was
really touched by this piece.
peace to all ~flight

This is so terribly sad and horrific. I find it hard to fathom, but know it was so terrible for you. I send you a prayer for the grief of your past, that the Lord will bring piece to mind and soul. Your friend, Doris.

Theresa, this poem brought tears to my eyes my friend, no child should go through life like this as it haunts them the rest of their lives. I am so sorry for what you went through in life but its good that you can write about it, it will never take it away but it may help to get your thoughts and feelings out and you did it so beautifully, well done dear poet. Your rhythm and rhyme flowed beautifully throughout the entire poem good luck in the contest
