Abuse

As I stare at this empty space
And tears roll down my cheeks
I try to remember this was a special place

Where I used to play
Not a care in the world
Never thinking it would come to this day

Where all the laughter and fun
Would be beaten away
Before the day was even done

To all you people who think abuse is a joke
Just remember one thing if you can
You could help break that yoke

Author's Note

Sorry if all the poems I write are despressing. I'm just like that I'm really not a depressing person :) unless I'm writing. I made my grade 5 teacher cry with a poem I wrote....

We feel so alone… abandoned but the world when trapped in a cycle of abuse. It's a refrain in torment: why doesn't anyone see what's happening? Who can I turn to? Sometimes, the ones you turn to do worse than your abuser. But, there is a path out. I speak from horrific experience. I've written all my life, bleeding my pain upon the page. But, I was blessed and found my way out. For me, thankfully, that's a place my life no longer dwells.
