She’s a princess at make up and telling all types of lies
Her mother made her like this to everyone’s surprise
From day to night it was all the same
Skipping school to play her moms boyfriends favorite game
But there are rules you must follow
One don’t tell
two don’t scream
Three don’t cry
Four don’t ask why….
She takes it every night a beating cause she doesn’t follow the rules
She hates this game she use to say still they made her stay and play
One hit for threatening to tell
Two hits for screaming
Three hits because she couldn’t help but cry
Four hits she asked her mother why?
Ten hits total she sleeps on the floor
To scared to move to scared to breath
It was a night mare she lived
Three years it went on over and over
Till they took her away from her mother
Safe at last but still its there from every night
Her mother would just let them tare
They hurt her over and over they didn’t even care
They bruised her and broke her but no one was there..

So very sad that any child should have to go through that. Very powerful write, telling of how the effects just keep on going.
Congrats on the Honorable Mention.

That is very tragic. It is unbelievable but true, that this kind of abuse does go on behind closed doors; and
often, other family members and society just look the other way. -
Whoa! There seems to be a lot of females on this site who have been abused, raped, heartbroken, or did some kind of self-infliction and that is so sad and depressing to me and I think that u all are soldiers to survive through that and hella courageous. Aside from that, this poem was intense and quite an attention-grabber! Very good usage of words. My only problem with this is that I think it was unnecessary to rhyme. However this is still an amazing poem as you are a poet! Incredible write!

I hope you have found people that care. This was difficult for me to read because it was honestly written.
