They slap me,
they hurt me.
They call me dumb when I don't know how to do something I was never tought.
They call me names,
they throw things at me.
My mom grabs me by the hair and throws my head against my bedframe.
I try to impress my dad, but nothing seems to work.
If I yell at my sisters for hitting me,
I get beat,
My sisters don't get touched.
I get very little of what I want,
my sisters are spoiled and get everything.
My parents tell me they love me though,
I always cry when they do.
It's a lie when they say that.
For some reason,
I can't bruise....
So theres no proof of what happens...
I'm still stuck here,
there is no way out....
I guess I have to wait another four years...

This isn't that bad. The only thing I don't like about it is its more "tell" than "show". I wanted to feel the pain of the poet, not see it. And it seems more like a....not really a rant...but like a moan about life.
Sucks having to wait until you're 18, doesn't it? I'm 18 now and I'm still stuck =\ Have to wait till graduation.
Thanks for entering, and good luck : -
This is so sad. Heartbreaking really that people do this to children, it's disgusting. Very well written and touching write. It makes perfect sense and it's freeverse, doesn't have to rhyme. I believe that this shows the workings of a mind, it goes from one thought to the next, much like Carol ann duffy's, Education for leasure. If your not familiar i would look it up, it is a brilliant poem. Very well done for such an amazing and unique piece of poetry. Thank you for your entry. xo

Wow. I'm so sorry that you have to go through that. I've been through so many things in my life, and I know it isn't easy. Writing is one way to let out what you're feeling. But it doesn't make it go away. If you need to talk, send me a message any time. This is a great write and a great way to get things off your chest.

Oh... I dont know you.. Im sorry, you just joined one of my groups and i wanted to read some poems.. This is very sad... Im sorry if this has actually happened, i believe no child should go through that, though i am one my self. We were not brought to this world as slaves or punching bags, though a mistake, it was their fault, they should give you more freedom, and much much more kindness... Sorry for my blabbing.....
And hey, poems don't have to rhyme! -Weak Smile-
