A CHiLD
NEVER HAVE i WRiTTEN A POEM LiKE THiS
NEVER SOMETHiNG SO STRONG
BUT i HEARD FROM A LiTTLE BiRDiE
THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT iT THE PAiN WONT LAST YOU LONG
THiS iS MY STORY
ABOUT SOMETHiNG HORRiBLE HAPPENiNG RiGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
HOW iT WENT ON FOR SO LONG
AND NO ONE REALLY KNOWS
WHEN i WAS A CHiLD
iN MY LiTTLE BARBiE DAYS
HE'D DO THE WORST THiNGS
iN MANY DiFFERENT WAYS
GETTiNG READY TO EAT DiNNER
WE'D BE SiTTiNG DOWN
HE'D SLiDE HiS HAND UP MY LEG
WHiLE EVERYONE WAS AROUND
i COULDNT SAY ANYTHiNG
CUZ i KNOW JUST WHAT HE'D DO
HE'D THREATEN SOMETHiNG AWFUL
THAT i KNEW HE WOULDNT BE SCARED TO DO
THE WAY HE'D COME UP BEHiND ME
AND WHiSPER iN MY EAR
THE COLD SHiVER i GOT UP MY SPiNE
WHEN HE WOULD COME NEAR
HE'D TOUCH MY BODY
AND NO ONE WAS EVER AROUND TO HELP
iD CRY SOFTLY
AND LET OUT A SiLENT YELP
HOW i LONGED TO TELL SOMEONE
BUT DiDNT NO WHAT HE'D DO TO ME
AFTER HE'D GET OUT OF JAiL
HE'D PROBABLY COME AFTER ME
iM MORE SCARED OF HiM
THEN ANYONE iN THE WORLD
HES THE ONE HORRiBLE MAN
THAT TOOK MY iNNOCENCE FOR A WHiRL
WHEN iD SAY NO
HE'D DO iT LONGER
WHEN iD SAY STOP
HE'D HOLD HiS GRiP STRONGER
i WAS A CHiLD SiTTiNG ON MY BED
SPEAKiNG "HOW MY LiFE HAS NEVER GONE RiGHT
HOW i HATE PEOPLE TAKiNG ADVANTAGE OF ME
BUT NO MORE, iLL MAKE SURE TONiGHT iS THE LAST NiGHT"
HOW iD PLOT TO KiLL HiM
HOW iD PLOT TO KiLL ME
EiTHER WAY,
HE'D STiLL BE HAUNTiNG ME
profound piece and I agree with your authors comment as well..
great poem, you were really able to capture what it must feel like to be in that situation. I can only begin to imagine what it would feel like. I hope that this is not a true story and if it maybe that a thumbs up and a good job can at least bring a smile
