Mother , why didn't you stop father?
I know you heard me screaming out in agony.
I know you heard me crying out in pain.
I know you heard everything,
So why didn't you do a thing?
I know you saw the damage that was delt.
I know you saw the bruises from the belt.
I know you saw the scars, so why didn't you stop him?!
A true mother would have interviened,
Stepped in between , protected me.
A true mother would have took us,
Away from the monster who treated us that way.
But you desired to stay for your own personal gain.
While your children lived with the pain.
I hope their lives won't be lost in vain,
Like they were to you, yesturday.
I can feel
how much pain, hurt, and sadness you felt during that time. Maybe even some fear. I wish that you hadn't gone through this crap, but I know that I cannot change the past. I will be here for you now though! The poem is very good, and is very heartfelt.

i feel
your emotion in this one --- thank you for sharing this piece of yourself, childhood was a painful thing for me --- there is always comfort in knowing that i wasn't alone
That poem, is a piece of me,
That poem, is a piece of me, that I live with everyday, the pain never goes away. But it wasn't just my fathers abuse, but hers too. They both were wrong, and she didn't defend or stop us, but instead, let him. And blamed us for it. It was wrong. No prob. Mine was/ still is though I'm no longer a child really. Lol. I understand that. I feel you.
