I hear them screaming;
I hear them fighting.
Tears are streaming down my face;
yet all they can do is fight.
They care about nothing else,
except being at each others throat.
Constant pain is all I feel;
I'm left numb and along.
I'm cut off from the world;
all I want to do is end it,
but I keep on going strong.
Just end the fighting;
end the sleepless nights,
that's all I ask.
What I would do for peace and quiet,
no words can describe.
No one knows our deep dark secret,
no one has a clue.
On the outside we're all rainbows and sunshine,
while on the inside it's endless turmoil.
There's nothing left to do,
but grit my teeth and bare it;
move on and grow;
try to block out my life at home.

Brlliant. Yoour words hit me so hard, the pain here is so strong and so evident. I am so sorry that you have to go though such hardship on a daily basis. I can relate to this so well, my father beats me and my mother daily but to the rest of the world we are the perfect family, have money, a big house, etc Sometimes i wish the outside world saw what goes on when the front door is slammed shit.
I am always here for you babe, if you ever need to talk. I understand your pain and i wish there was something i could do to help.
Your truth and honesty here is aplaudable and all i can say is i pray things improve for you.
I am always here for you and thank you for entering my contest -

I'm glad my words made a difference and I'm sorry you can relate. No one in the world should have to feel such pain, but such pain doesn't always have to be a bad thing, it can be a strengthening thing. Just don't hide from light, and remember to embrace the darkness. What your father does isn't your fault, and whether you realize it or not, you CAN stop him. Anyways I'm glad you liked my poem, and thank you for your kind offer.
