What we need to know (child abuse)

by Tracy D Rollings   Apr 27, 2007


I was sitting in the yard, enjoying the sun
just trying to let my, imagination run wild
you called me in the house, showed me a gun
it was the stupidest thing, to show a child

said we were going hunting, and have some fun
if you only knew the thoughts, running in my mind
had a real bad feeling, that I was one that would run
cause it wasn't funny, you were shooting at my behind

you came home and laughed, guess you had a ball
telling all your friends, about the fun you had that day
but to be honest with you, it wasn't really funny at all
tell you the truth i hated the games you like to play

like the day at the river, when we were away from the bank
you knew I couldn't swim, but you threw me in anyway
and again you thought it was funny, as I started to sink
hadn't been for that man in the boat, I would have die that day

you never stop to even think, of all the dumb things you do
you never gave it a thought, what would ever happen to me
all the things that I say about you, they knew it was all true
and now I will tell the rest of the world ,for everyone else to see

CHILD ABUSE IS SOMETHING THAT IS TAKEN TO LIGHTLY
AND THE PEOPLE THAT COMMIT IT SHOULD HAVE TO PAY.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT NO CHILD, SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
YET SO MANY ARE ABUSED ,AND WE HAVE TO PUT A STOP TO IT. SO IF YOU SEE OR KNOW OF A CHILD DEALING WITH ABUSE ,PLEASE DO YOUR PART TO HELP PUT A STOP IT. I KNOW YOU WOULDN'T WANT YOUR CHILD TO GO THROUGH IT,,,,,,,,,,,, THANK YOU.©2007 Tracydr42

    Youre poetry has such meaning, its a great write. But unfortunatly what you wrote is something that is so common today, and something really needs to be done about it. Its not right. But it is a great write. Keep it up.

    It is a crime that there are so many children still out there and no one is saying a word

    Child abuse unfortualelty is a very real and touchy subject. I just want to let you know tha I think that it is great what you are trying to do, I know that growing up I sure could have used someone like you to talk to and help me get thoughit all, maybe i wouldn't have these ugly scars from cutting. Great job 5/5

    It is really awful if someone has to go through this. Like your poem and the message it contains.
