His pain(child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Apr 23, 2007


I saw the kid walk in the door
dragging his books across the floor
to tired to make it too his room
so she hit him with the broom.

He sat on his bed and started to cry
but no one was around, to ask him why
he holds his head up and tries to read
but does no good, he's too tired to see.

His head is hurting from the night before
from the busted head when he hit the floor
he wants to eat, but there's no food
makes you wonder why they can be so rude.

He don't understand why they are so mean
why they can't wash and keep him clean
goes to school to get away from home
so he doesn't have to feel he's alone.

He tries to hide it from all his peers
the pain he suffered through the years
all the torture they gave to him
I pray to God, he gives to them.

But now he lives his life with all that pain
of all the things that drives him insane
this is no way for a child to live
there's so much love he wanted to give.©2007 Tracydr42

    Tracy,
    As always you have that way of conveying the pain caused from child abuse. You have opened the doors to let others see the pain and because of this it will result in your healing. As you know anything you need you have friends to rely on. I consider myself blessed to have become one of those. Your message can give hope and shed light on the atrocities that children face today. Wonderful Write.
    As always,
    Your Friend,
    Kay

    I agree with this poem and i think you did an excellent job of expressing this in words. i think it is a brave thing for people to write about a taboo subject and yours is very emotive, well done
