Everyone, No One, On My Own

Just a poem... not really happy with the way it turned out, but here you go.

No one sees how easy it is

To let him do what he wants.

Everyone thinks that if I tell on him

The pain and scars will stop.

I see these girls, who look at their guy

And slap him because he’s stupid.

I see these boys, who stare at their girl

And you can see all their love.

 

Everyone thinks he’s popular

Thinks he’s the sweetest guy

No one sees the abuse.

No one knows I come home and cry.

 

He says he doesn’t mean it

And won’t ever do it again

I take him back, believe him

That’s my fault, I guess

No one listens

But that makes sense

Because everyone thinks

He’s the greatest…

 

Everyone thinks he’s popular

Thinks he’s the sweetest guy

No one sees the abuse.

No one knows I come home and cry.

 

I may never figure this out

How to walk away strong

How not to shake in my boots

When he threatens me once again

I may not ever close my eyes

Without seeing him, coming towards me

But I can do this

Somehow… someway…

 

Everyone thinks he’s popular

He’s not the sweetest guy

One day, I’ll fight the abuse.

And won’t come home and cry.

Many people have two faces. One for the people and the one that is hidden. I told my three daughter. Never rush into a relationship. Need to know the real person before making something permanent. I like how you told the story in the poem. Most of us must learn the hard way. Slow and easy into a relationship. If someone is hateful and mean. They will not change. The ending is true. Sometime better to escape then swim in misery. Thank you for a excellent poem.
