Abuse

by disturbed one   Jan 8, 2007


This poem is a true story and is about one of my best friends

At a young age,
She knew about her dad,
He was a drug dealer,
But it didnt make her sad,

She stayed strong,
Even through the hard times,
Knew about the other women,
And all of his crimes,

Raising her two sisters,
Youngest not one year yet,
Sometimes shed hide them,
From him hitting her in the closet,

Sometimes it got so bad,
Neighbours called the police,
But nothing ever happened,
He always got released,

With photos and hard evidence,
CAS would have no part,
Proof of abuse in the house,
But wouldnt tear them apart,

After 13 years of beatings,
Rather then marriage and fun,
Just her, her sisters, and mom,
There should be no reason to run,

But something goes wrong,
Her and mom get into a fight,
Turning 17 in just two weeks,
And shes packing her things tonight

----------------------------------------

Incase any of you are wondering...CAS stands for Childrens Aid Society and...in the 3rd stanza..i meant to say she hid her sisters in the closet while he hit her...but it didnt fit together like that

    Aww this is really sad... Too many children go through abuse at the hands of the people who are supposed to love them more than anything... The rhythmn and flow was superb throughout, and although very sad it was an excellent piece of work... Well done 5/5 xx

    I hope your friend manages to put all the past behind her and has a better, happier future.

    Omgosh this poem is soo sad.. but its really great i like it a lot.. but i wouldnt put "in the 3rd stanza..i meant to say she hid her sisters in the closet while he hit her...but it didnt fit together like that " it just makes you seem week in your writing.. its sounds fine without the explanation.. poetry should be left open for interpretation.. but there really is no need to explain the third stanza..

    anyways other than that lol i love it!
