Abusive poems

Recommended Posts

Asalamu Calykum my fellow nomads,

This is a poem my friend sent to me about child abuse, it is very sad.

 

*~*~*Sarah*~*~*

 

My name is Sarah

 

I am but three,

 

My eyes are swollen

 

I cannot see,

 

I must be stupid

 

I must be bad,

 

What else could have made

 

My daddy so mad?

 

I wish I were better

 

I wish I weren't ugly,

 

Then maybe my mommy

 

Would still want to hug me.

 

I can't speak at all

 

I can't do a wrong

 

Or else I'm locked up

 

All the day long.

 

When I awake I'm all alone

 

The house is dark

 

My folks aren't home

 

When my mommy does come

 

I'll try and be nice,

 

So maybe I'll get just

 

One whipping tonight.

 

Don't make a sound!

 

I just heard a car

 

My daddy is back

 

From Charlie's Bar.

 

I hear him curse

 

My name he calls

 

I press myself

 

Against the wall

 

I try and hide

 

From his evil eyes

 

I'm so afraid now

 

I'm starting to cry

 

He finds me weeping

 

He shouts ugly words,

 

He says its my fault

 

That he suffers at work.

 

He slaps me and hits me

 

And yells at me more,

 

I finally get free

 

And I run for the door.

 

He's already locked it

 

And I start to bawl,

 

He takes me and throws me

 

Against the hard wall.

 

I fall to the floor

 

With my bones nearly broken,

 

And my daddy continues

 

With more bad words spoken.

 

"I'm sorry!", I scream

 

But its now much too late

 

His face has been twisted

 

Into unimaginable hate

 

The hurt and the pain

 

Again and again

 

Oh please God, have mercy!

 

Oh please let it end!

 

And he finally stops

 

And heads for the door,

 

While I lay there motionless

 

Sprawled on the floor

 

My name is Sarah

 

And I am but three,

 

Tonight my daddy

 

Murdered me.
