You explain

Yeah but would any explanation be enough to be acceptable? I dont think so, there is absolutely no excuse for this type of cruelty to ANY living thing. Especially a child.
Im still in shock about how people go through this and emerge from the other side as good people. Especially a child growing up with this kind of torment. I just understand what would compell someone to do such a thing. Amazing write, once again you manage to get the torment across in your poem. I hope it lets people know they are not alone if they are in similiar situations.
Take care.

This poem is excellent. It has great atmosphere and you described emotions superbly. It is very sad and touching and you wrote it amazingly! 5/5

"The bruises on my body
pain in the head
enough to make a child
wish he was really dead."

i think thats the most effective stanza there, because when you think of children you think about a genuine feel of happiness because they have so little to worry about, so if a young child wishes for death then thats an excellent comparisson...great work tracy

Wow, every stanza is filled with emotions, so touching. I like the poem from the beginning to the end, it's excellently written.
5/5

If I had your talent to express feelings, I would know what to say right now. I'm stunned. This poem somehow touched me more than any other poem I've read.
