You black my eyes You break my bones You burn me with your cigarettes You kick when I'm down You throw me into walls You beat up my mom You call me names You tell I'm worthless and you wish I was never born You choke me You slap me You feed me feces You make me beg for my food I'm just a baby What did I do wrong Why do you hate me I'm a defenseless child Do you feel more like a man When you bruise my fragile body Do you feel like a man When you're shaking me Does it make you feel better about yourself When you see me broken I'm a gift from above But yet you treat me like I'm a mistake Does it feel like I'm speaking to you from beyond My premature grave Maybe I am Maybe I haunt your dreams Maybe I'm the voice inside your head Maybe I'm that guilt that eats you everyday But don't worry you will get what you deserve
(This poem is about some of the horrific acts of abuse I read/seen on the news. It is so sad what some of these kids go through before their young lives are put to a tragic end.)
