I wish I could(child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Jun 6, 2007


Staring out the window
looking to the sky
thinking about my life
keep asking myself why.

My life isn't the best
thats plain to see
thinking about other kids
living life like me.

Never asked for pain
but it came free
thats not the way
child life should be.

Things are hard here
I'm really going insane
treated like an animal
taking all the pain.

The torture you gave
fun that you had
wasn't enough for though
bout drove you mad.

Drinking made you big
only in your head
I had my way
promise you'd be dead.

Bust you side the head
knock out half your teeth
go hide all your money
then call you a thief.

Beat you with a hose pipe
piece of wood in the yard
and don't stop beating
until I just get tired.

Don't feed you for days
chain you to a tree
pay you both back
for doing it to me.©2007 Tracydr42

    This is a good poem,I've gone through some things with my family..drinking, hitting etc. all the "good" stuff. And I know how painful it is even when it was so long ago..This is a very nice poem, two thumbs up!

    My friend...you write so well. When I read it, I can feel your pain...wanting to take it away from you some how. Keep writing :)

    This is so heartbreaking to read, and yet so beautifully written...the flow was good throughout, the imagery you portrayed wonderfully done, and the ending is hardhitting and intense.
