Through the Eyes of a Child

I wrote this after watching a special on child abuse.

" Quit yelling and screaming,
I hate seeing the two of you argue "
see my point of view,
through the eyes of a child
" Don't call each other names,
and don't you dare hit her, "
you see what I'm going through?
through the eyes of a child
no two people should fuss and fight
like that.... if you truly love each other
I know I shouldn't have a say,
but through the eyes of a child
I want to protect mommy,
because I don't want her to get hurt
I love her too much...
yeah, this is the life.....
through the eyes of a child

Great piece of heart wrenching work. I have a good respect for this type of writing, or at least the theme.
Everyone always says how horrid it is for children that have to go through this, and it is so true. They just usually don't understand how many children have to go through it. Hundreds, thousands...
It's the horrid truth of reality.

This is an expressive piece. To see through the eyes of a child. I think most children feel this way when their parents fight. I know I did. The poem was beautiful and hopeful. A nice write.

Intense, raw, and powerful.. Good for you for writing about a tough subject.. I can not stand it when people are hateful and fight in front of their children.. Their idiots for not being able to control themselves.. x

Innocence, bit by bit, being sucked out.
So deep, so true, great poem.

This brought me back to my own childhood. I don't remember much of it because I was only 2 at the time, but what I do remember I wish I could forget.

Great write. You penned all of the emotions perfectly.

this sent chills down my spine. I love this, it is an amazing piece. If only more parents understood what the constant fighting does to there children emotionally and mentally. It was very insightful.
