Pain in me

by Tracy D Rollings   Jul 8, 2007


He sits out on the porch
with tears running down his face
been wishing he was never born
just wants to leave this place.

Little head down to the ground
and hides his face in shame
the swollen jaws and black eyes
and he accepts all the blame.

Waiting on the worse to come
mind flows like a steady stream
unlike the kids that he knows
that do live out there dreams.

Angel of mercy born in hell
his whole life was taken away
was given to the devil himself
he's the one left to pay .

Dark nights they come at once
filled with nothing but pure fear
breaking his little heart in two
for he knows no one cares.

The look in his teary eyes
could make a grown man cry
the pain he goes through everyday
can anyone please tell me why.

Torn clothes and a shattered look
stands a little boy very distributed
being punished all the time
for things he didn't deserve.©2007 Tracydr42
