I know a little boy ( child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Jun 5, 2007


There is a little boy
sits alone each day
doesn't ever talk much
never wants to play.

The clothes he wears
are dirty and torn
looks like some thing
that has been worn.

The pain he feels
down deep in side
knowing it's killing him
something he can't hide.

His heart is broken
tears fill the eyes
everyone ignores him
he begins to cry.

Alone in this world
left by him self
feels like a doll
been put on a shelf.

But the pain is real
that he can't deny
sad part about it
no one cares why.

Learns to fight young
best that he can
knows life is hard
that he can't understand.

Why must a child
live life this way
he ask the question
no one will say.

He swallows his pride
his head in shame
goes about his day
thinking he's the blame.

Life just keeps going
from day to day
pain they are infecting
will for ever stay.©2007 Tracydr42

    I think its great that you are doing something to fight this truely vicous and evil crime. Your poem shows that we should all really be doing something to bring a stop to this. I am all about forgivenss but i can not, can not ever forgive someone who does these terrible acts. I trulet from the depths of my soul hate them. But what an amazinbg poem to make people so passionate about it provoke the desired reaction. I imagine these must be extremely painful to write. Hats of to you. Take care.

    Child abuse makes me MAD MAD MAD and any writer that highlights and educates about this issue is a fave in my book. The simplicity of your language in this piece adds the effectiveness of the message you are conveying - a very well done job! Eirisa xx
