In light of the recent child abuse thats been affecting our nation, a poem
He stands in the dark room He trembles with fear And whispers to himself "oh please dont let them hear" He knocked a book over Hes so clumsy they say so ugly so stupid, they wish he'd just go away Too late, his dad enters the room "what did you do now you idiot?" His fathers voice booms "Your so worthless, so stupid such a great waste of space my life when you werent in it, was a much better place" he comes towards him, holding his shoe "how many effing times, do i have to tell you?" he starts to hit him, first on the face then the beatings get harder, all over the place His mother comes in, and just looks on amused Not caring at all that her son, to whom she gave birth is being abused. They hit him and hit him from his head to his toes Theyre so busy hitting him they dont even see when he goes He wakes up and hes on someone's knee " its okay my child, your safe here with me Im your father,lord jesus,i have been since before your birth and im sorry, so sorry that i sent you to earth I chose them to be your parents and trusted them to care but instead they abused that trust and taught you to fear I watched you endure more pain than you should but i let it go on for i thought they would learn to be good." "But they didnt and so i took you away to my castle of children, where you will spend the rest of your days You will be hit now with kisses and smothered with hugs and you'll forever be surrounded by my undying love, Im sorry that they hurt you, and caused you such pain but they wont hurt you now my son,ever again" "Theres a lady here , she had a boy but she had to come home too so she will be your angel mum now,and she already loves you. Be happy now my child, for all of that pain and strife is over now my darling, for the rest of your life. And back down on earth his parents look on at his body, but hes already gone "guess we have to call someone "says his mum "you know now the police are gonna come" "stupid child, he was such a waste of space" but this time the child doesnt here him Hes now in a much better place |

That was such an awesome poem. It's so real. Thank you for taking the time to share that with us. I'm in such awe because I can just picture this little boy in fear, cowering in his room, hearing the dreaded footsteps of his father coming towards his bedroom door. Each part of the poem I can see vividly.
I'm gonna copy and save it, if you don't mind. Im gonna put it in my little book of inspiration. Baby Nia has made me realise what my purpose is, and now I'm wanting to study social work next year. Thank you -------------

Kelly that is a breathtaking poem so haunting. You made me bawl my eyes out, beautiful.
If it's ok with you I have some people I would like to send it on too, I think it's too beautiful to not be shared, but can understand if you don't want to. You are very talented. ------------- Abigail 06/01/2005 Jayden 21/11/2001 Micheal 03/04/1997 |
