Another day with the drunks(child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Apr 12, 2007


As i sit hear and think, of the times gone by
I watch them drink, and i start to cry.

Suddenly i see the anger come, and there tempers start to rage
Sometimes i just wanted to die, because they are like wild animalslet out of a cage.

Don't take long before they start fussing,I run and hide but i does no good
they always find me, and i knew they would.

But i can't give up, it's all i got to keep me going
so i go in the house, and stand at attention
and i look into his eyes, i see it coming
i feel the pain.

Like a storm in the night
the tears come down, like fallen rain.

I take the beating without a fight, i sit in the darkness alone and scared
trying to figure out why no one cared.

I feel so hurt and all alone
can't understand what i keep doing wrong.

Cause all i wanted was to belong, i feel so lonely and sad
the pain they caused still hurts me bad.

All i wanted to do was to be loved, tho times have come
and times have gone
the pain they inflicted will never be known.

As i look back now and try to understand
I'm just glad I'm not that kind of a man.Â

    I am so glad you are not that kind of man either. You will be a wonderful parent through the pain you have experienced. Our trials and tribulations will becoming stepping stones for future generations. How you ask, spread the word that this madness must not continue, and you seem to be doing so through your writes.
