Who is that little girl that sits there bleeding?
The one who is holding her wrist from where she has been thrown
and caught herself because she knew no one else would?
That little girl is me I am the one who got thrown and no one caught
I am the one who has been beat and no one cared
This was me when I was about seven
I took the pain I had no clue what this man was doing to me
I took every slap in the face like a soldier taking a bullet for his country
I always thought it was my fault
Then when I found out I was pregnant at thirteen
I hid it from you I began to fight the abuse
I was stronger now since I had something to fight to keep safe
to protect from your wrath
But one day I could not block the blow you threw to my tummy
I fought so long and hard to keep this baby safe under my heart
But that night the pain you had caused me was to great
You took my very life away
Right then and there I knew I hated your every fiber of your being
I knew then and there that I must speak out about what you caused me
The pain I have endured for thirteen long years
I knew I could now wear my purple heart for everyone to see
I was broken and hurt but yet I was still brave and proud

chilling
It is chilling... that any human, let alone a child, should have to endure this.
Well done, for how you have coped, and how you have survived, and how you are able to tell, so eloquently.

I cant stop the tears from falling as i am reading this. I am so sorry that you have been through so much.....i can relate so well, The title is fatastic and each line expresses so much hurt, pain and truth. I can really feel your pain and your need for someone, anyone to give you just a kind word, a soft touch, a warm hug, i can really understand how that feels......'I took every slap in the face like a soldier taking a bullet for his country' i love this line.....so much truth. I feel like we have been in contact with the same evil. I wish i could take your hurt and pain. I am so sorry you have been through so much......i just want to hold you, tell you everything will be ok, because it will, eventually things will get easier.....I havnt yet got there but i know that it will happen and i know one day you will find peace too. Thank you for entering my contest.....this is a genious write and i love it. I am so sorry once again.
