Sad to think(child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Apr 24, 2007


I use to lay in my bed every night
and cry when they turn out the light
had crazy thoughts in my head
of the things under my bed.

but you put them there and i blame you
cruel things you did and i know it's true
came in my room something over your head
scare me to death and i would wet the bed.

you got mad one night and slung me in the floor
told me you wasn't putting up with me anymore
you grabbed me by the throat that night
and you held me there till i lost sight.

said i couldn't sleep in the bed anymore
and from that night on i laid in the floor
can't remember a night i never made you mad
you gave me the worse life a child ever had.

you beat on a kid made you look tough
and your kicks in the back really got rough
said you couldn't see me because of no light
knew where i was, you put me there every night.

laid there at night and remembered what you said
had a thought one night, to come burn your bed
what a sad thought for a little child to think
of all the stupid things, you did when you drank.©2007 Tracydr42

    This is so very sad. A child should feel safe and loved in their own home. I can't understand how a parent can be so cruel to their own child...or any child. I hope by writing this helps you. I know it will help so many others to start to heal. Excellent job!
