Baseball bat punishment,
words cutting like knives
There were times,
when all I wanted to do,
was lay down and die.
Made to feel stupid,
pathetic and dumb
In time all I learned
to feel was numb.
No one believed.
The truth remained hidden.
Haunted eyes...
Broken spirit...
a life lived in shame.
A loner.
No friends.
Accepting all blame.
Placing the fault
all upon me.
Coming to my bedroom,
lighted only by the moon.
Feeling nothing
but the sense of impending
doom.
Love shouldn't hurt
or cause so much pain.
Begging you, please
Daddy, not again.
The scars still unhealed.
The wounds running deeply.
The broken shell of a person
you see is me.
