Fury in the night

by Tracy D Rollings   Jun 19, 2007


The fury in the night
anger was in my mind
pain filled my heart
no help could I find.

Sitting here all alone
what should I do
thinking to myself
they don't love you.

Cramps in my stomach
knots on my head
back full of welts
can't lay in bed.

Although I may suffer
know to stay quiet
they will get me
deep in the night.

You least expect it
they come in the dark
Neighbors know when
dogs start to bark.

Cries into the night
screaming help out loud
hoping for some Justice
but he stood proud.

Knowing in his heart
would never get away
started praying to God
let him die today.

Sleep in the cold
stand in the rain
his poor little body
couldn't take the pain.©2007 Tracydr42

    Once again another poem that just breaks my heart

    "his poor little body
    couldn't take the pain."

    So sad, how can someone go from day to day living like and all for no reason, just one sick individuals idea of fun or fear or whatever reason they inflict this onto someone and to do that to a child is worst of all. How are they to understand and no what love is? This can cause such a vicous circle and its a miracle that this didnt completely warp you in some way. Shows amazing strength that i can only imagine! Take care and God Bless.

    Heartbreaking. Tracy, you have such a way of describing pain that it is haunting. You chill me with your from the experience writes. It gets difficult to read sometime because I know you have experienced it. It is so hard to imagine that anyone would have to go through so much hurt. I hurt for you as well. If I could take away the pain of past I would erase it away gladly. Sadly it would never happen. The reality is something we have to live with every day. I'm so sorry.

    As far as the poem itself, your writing is getting so much better and I can see how you have grown so much. Only in my opinion does this one line stick out. I think it could stand to be shortened and the meaning wouldn't be lost. Please do not take this as criticism, I admire you and your writing immensely.

    ^^neighbor's know whats happening
    dogs start to bark.

    Perhaps shorten it to ...
    Neighbors know when
    dogs start to bark.

    It wouldn't lose any of the emphasis on what the neighbors know when they hear the ruckus outside.

    Wonderful Job Tracy,
    Your Friend,
