Their View ( abusers )

by Baby Rainbow   Jul 10, 2012


I abuse you because
it makes me feel big
when I am standing over you.

I abuse you because
you don't know it's wrong
since you are just a child.

I abuse you because
I want to cause pain
to that innocent body of yours.

I abuse you because
I want to have control
over everything you do.

I abuse you because
I can train you not to tell
and threaten to end your life.

I abuse you because
I can teach you not to yell
with each beating I give you.

I abuse you because
you are just weak and small
and I am bigger than you.

I abuse you because
you deserve what you get
for trying to hide from me.

I abuse you because
I want to feel important
and me, you will never forget.

I abuse you because
I know that I can...

...and there is nothing you can do.

    For someone to abuse another person, I will never understand. It is psychological - a lot of them think they are doing nothing wrong, which baffles me. They think it is normal to be abused either because they experienced it in their life... or that is just how their brain is made up. I'm not sure? Whatever the reason, it angers me. Abuse is not okay in any form.

    I like this poem, however I do think it needs some more depth. I, also, think this poem would benefit with some punctuation.

    Overall, a good poem. :)

    I have yet to comment on the other, but I like how you did poem based on the abuser's point of view and on the victim's. I thought that was pretty interesting.

    There are many reasons why people abuse others. One of the most known reasons is because they themselves were abused when they were younger - maybe by one of their parents, by a sibling, by some other family member. Or perhaps they abuse others because they are bored, or because they think it is cool...there are much more I am sure, but I just can't think of them right now. All I know is that it is very sad for whatever reason.

    I really like this poem. At first I thought, eh...but now I see a whole different side of it. However, I thought there could have been more in depth here - it made me keep on looking for more.

    I like that you used repetition in this piece. I know that it can bother some poets, but I think it served its purpose here. It added to the flow, and it added to the message. Speaking about the flow, that was pretty well done. It wasn't as good as your others that I have read, but I still thought that it was good.

    Excellent
