No Child of Yours
A poem I wrote about abuse and how I felt. It isn’t meant to flow on some parts for reasons of impact on feelings as my feelings were very strong
I saw a child hide in the corner
So I went and asked her name,
She was so naive and so petite
With such a tiny frame.
"No one" she replied, "thats what I am called
I have no family, no one at all,
I eat I sleep I get depressed
There is no life I have nothing left"
"Why hide in the corner" I had to ask twice
Because I’ve been hurt, it’s not very nice
I tried to stop it, it was out of my control
I feared for myself, I wanted to go
I begged for my sorrow to dissapear
I turned in my bed,Oh God, I knew they were near"
"So come on little girl, where do you go
A path ahead, or a path to unknown?"
With that she arose, her head hung low
She held herself, for only she knows
Her tears held back, her heart like ice
It looks as though she has paid the price.
The ice started melting, her tears to flow
The memories flood back, still many years ago
The pain, the anger all built up inside
Nowhere to run,nowhere to hide
It will get better just wait and see
You’ll get a life, though you’ll never be free
Open your heart and love yourself
The abuse you suffered
Was NOT your fault
