Against Child Abuse

you follow me around,
you call me a freak
you pull on my backpack
and make me feel weak
you're mean and you're hurtful,
words harder than stones
i'm terrified of you
Your home is silent, full of peace.
Just you and your thoughts.
Just you.
As you open the door, there are so many things going on.
Screaming.
Crying.
Forest fires.
Let me tell you the story
Of a myth not known for glory,
Of an idea that has been forgotten
And replaced with something rotten.
Thrown out of my own home
Out into the cold
So young, yet so old
Wisdom doesn’t make you stronger
Holding back tears doesn’t make things better
All I wanted is to live peacefully together
Dear (ex)stepdad,
Forgiveness is suppossed to be a powerful weapon.A weapon to use for healing, for moving forward, and for forgetting
But what if I can't forgive? What if I can't forget?
Once upon a time there was a young man
He lived with his wife, daughter, and son
He never cared about family or love
He only listened to his children's screams
As his wife once again hit them with force
White male, 14, controlled by my father.
Forced to play sports, when my heart isn't in it.
I can't see my friends.
I can't see my Mom.
I have nobody.
I am a worthless piece of shit, he says.
Dear Dad,
I am not emotionally charged right now, so I figure it would be a good time to start this.
I am an artist,
Painting smiles on other people's faces.
I am a comedian,
Cheering up those having a bad day.
I am a ball of pent up energy,
Making memories with those who may not have the best ones.
You dont understand
And i cant stand
It anymore
He throws me to the floor
You dont care
You stand and stare
But what does it hurt
You didnt give me birth
Im not your daughter
You tried to touch me
You made me scream
So I told my mom
She said that I was wrong
My world crashed
From what you smashed
You took my pride,
All those years I lied
To myself
Stay Strong my love, when all goes wrong continue to move along.
It may hurt now but it won't forever. What he did to you was wrong...
