No Child of Yours

18th Aug 2006 | in

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
