As I lay Crying on the Bedroom floor,
I'd wish you'd love me more
but all my life i was "Daddy's little whore'
As I lay Bruised on the bathroom floor
I wish for love that I'll always lack
but im only "Mommy's punching sack"
As I feel the Silver slicing deep within
My pale white skin
I feel repenting of your sins
but still i die within
You are the Darkness in my fears
You are the Crimson in my tears
you hate my scars you say
but why should you?
for that is what you do
I may have held the Blade
but by your hand they are made
These scars are me
As They are My Scars Of You !
Author notes
i wrote this poem for the many people in America who were/are abused as a child, and the saddest part is many of their voices go unheard...

Amazing Poem ^_^
This is an amazing write I know how this feels to be misunderstood and believe it or not I know exactly what it's like
-
Beautiful, yet utterly heartbreaking. What a wonderful write. Thankyou so much for entering this piece.

my favorite part was "I may have held the Blade
but by your hand they are made "
strong, true words in many cases. its great that your speaking out for those abused children that can not do it for themselves. bravo!
-
wow..
that was so powerful.
created such raw emotion, i really liked it.
-
remarkable
this is a hard topic to approach, but you really hit the nail on the head, you were very graphic i could really see that blade slicing, last line very evocative this is an exeptional write thanks for writing this there are a lot of silent screams out there waiting for someone to hear them
-
Wow
Very emotional and true. I loved it so much.
-
WOW! That's a strong message for such a short poem. It made me cry. Is this what really happened to you if so that's really sad. I wish the world wasn't such a fucked up place. It treats all these people that deserve love with such cruelty.
-
This one is very sad. You are right, it's very odd that a lot of abusive parents don't like you self harming, but they are harming you, so it's almost as if they chose who is allowed to hurt you. Still, self harm isn't good and isn't the best way.
I found this sad, as yes many young people, not just in America but all over the world and in the UK, Canada, Australia and such, go through this stuff and often they go unheard. It's a sad fact of life really that shouldn't have to be a fact of life.
Thank you for sharing this inspiration, I'm sure many can relate to your words.

I like your authors notes, sadly it is true that most voices go unheard.
Powerful write.
