Hurting Inside

She really hurts me
But she doesn't see
That I'm still just a baby
Does she care? Maybe,

But she couldn't, could she?
She lets him beat me
Why won't they just let me be?

She really hurts me.

When I my years were few
I used to sit contented,

On her knee
But now, I've been taunted
Doesn't she care that I'm haunted?
That I'll never be the same?
They've both played a really sick game. . .

People say I'm beautiful
But I don't know that in my soul
She doesn't tell me she loves me anymore,
But I want her to know that I still love her
But I will never love her sir.

She doesn't know how I feel inside
Maybe she'll love me as the days go by

    aaaaaaaaaaaah, and so sad it is ~ it's really tough when we don't hear it from the ones we want to hear it from. I truly love my daughter ~ I think as kids get older we begin to forget how we should still be luv'ing them ~ I just recently told my daughter that even if she's 103 ~ and I'm still take a breathe ~ I would always give her a kiss ~ I'll never stop being her Mom ~ When I was pregnant ~ I was so happy ~ I really wanted 12 kids ~ but Only was blessed one time ~ My daughter is my life ~ my success ~ my treasure ~ I wish other parents could really see what they are sacrificing for the other things they choose.

    When I was younger my step father did the same ~ My mom knew what was happening ~ she used to fight him ~ saying "Don't hit the kids" ~ but as time passed ~ she stopped fighting so hard ~ later in years I asked her ~ Why? She said ~ cause I just wanted it to stop I could make it go away in my own head ~ if I just pretended it wasn't happening ~ (I guess a form of denial) .... I ask ~ Why, didn't you leave him? She said: Because I didn't think I could make a life with five kids on my own ~ (Justification) ~

    I then realized the power was always mine ~ Tell your friend ~ she can make change ~ She'd have to be stronger than even her Mother is ~ and if she's under 18 ~ Might want to talk about living with another family member ~ or if she older ~ then when she has children ~ she can give them all the love she never got ~ when she should had ~ I think that's what I've done with my own daughter ~ yet still I've made mistakes ~ I would turn back if I could ~ Hurtful ones ~ the kind of hurt ~ that never goes away~ but I DID do something about it ~ I had his ass thrown in jail for what he did ~ and I left him ~ Maybe some people don't think they can~ or maybe they don't want to ~ cause they so insecure with Not having someone ~ I don't know ~ This happens all too much ~ people need to speak out ~ your poem is a great start!!!

    Sorry for rambling ~ I tend to do that ~ I do wish your friend the best of luck ~ Nice tribute to abused children ~ whether emotional or physically or both ~ this poem speaks for them all ~ good luck!

    It's disturbing to know that these things are happening more and more and very few are speaking up. Afraid to face that fear, mostly alone. It's good that you are there for your friend.

    So sad that this is the reality of so many children and young people, I thought the poem was quite nice.

    Wow that was really deep. I like it. I think it is sickening that someone would do that. I enjoyed reading it. I felt the hurt in every word.
