Step Father

warning, this poem isn't for weak stomachs

Why...Why did you cause pain to us?
Did your heart not feel any sadness or pity for our crying hearts?
Were you just blinded by your greed for alcohol as you beat us with anything? 

I still have those scars caused by you, but the scars in my heart won't disappear no matter what.

I remember the time I accidentally spilled a glass of milk, you forced me to stand atop on broken glass shards and pins

Crying in pain, you did nothing but laugh at my misery
Are you really human? What did I do to deserve your torture? 
I was only a small child yet you made our lives a living Hell 

The brutal beatings we endured as we were the brunt of your anger outbursts

Don't give me that excuse that you were a victim of child abuse 
You should have made our rotten life better unlike yours, but you did not 

Don't give me any more excuses to excuse your abuse, you only did it for your desire to be sexually pleased

Like the day when you forced me to perform oral sex at age six when I knew nothing about it
Or when you molested my ten-year-old brother to satisfy your sexual hunger 

Were we just pigs to the slaughter? We were only children but you used us 

Your anger, where did it come from? 
Even if I may have angered you by accident when I was young, it's no excuse 

Why did you force this life onto us?

I sometimes wonder what my life would be if it was different?
Would my heart feel the same or would it be different?

Hard to forget bad treatment. I saw abuse of my mother. Made me a better person. I won't hurt a women. Powerful and sad story written in the poetry. I liked the honest tone and the proper question at the ending. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

If this is true, I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Nobody deserves that, and for a young child, it just breaks my heart. I hope he is not in your life anymore?
