It's so loud
as i lay in bed
i have a pillow
over my head
The screaming
is all i hear
the yelling
makes me tear
The door bursts open
you hit her,you slap her
i go to fight
and my world blurs
I push you and hit you
scream for you to stop
i kick you and slap you
we really need a cop
Next thing i know
you throw me at the wall
my head hits first
i bounce like a ball
You get off my sister
and glare at me
in your eyes
hate is all i see
My sister stands
and walks away
doesn't look at me
doesn't have anything to say
My six year old body
crumpled on the floor
for my new psychological pain
is there a cure
I got no thank yous
just regular beatings
no hugs or kisses
fists for greetings
9 years later
your no longer here
6 years of beatings
you, i no longer fear
Your family tells me
father your going to die
but like normal people
i dont cry
I sit down and smile
my wish is coming true
the wish i wished so hard
has finally come for you
My mother asks how can i
be so heartless and cold
where did i get all this
hate that i hold
Clueless mommy
was always gone
she still doesn't know
everything that went on
The damage you caused
the pain i still feel
it's time you see
what hell has to reveal

very nice work i love it this is a very sad piece and i can relate because my parents used to be this way and we were too little to make dad leave mom alone but we used to yell at him... it is sad to go through a thing like this and the memory never goes away but it does get fainter... great wrte keep up the great work...
