CRY,,,
CRY,,
OR I will have to HIT you
SCREAM LOUDER he said
this was for my protection
HE slapped the mattress instead
YELL like I am belting YOU
or MOM is gonna be PISSED
HE tried to save me
MY Brother that ABUSED ME
TO no AVAIL I simply laughed
in his FACE
I laughed quite hard as SHE
climbed the stairs and
TOOK the BELT from his hand
SLAPPED HIM for not doing
as HE was TOLD
then SHE WAILED on me
SENSELESS until I BLED.
A very sad poem. Hard for someone to understand if you never had to accept abuse. Your words made the situation come alive. My dear mother was abused by a uncle. She hid the secret away for 60 years. Some pain burned the heart and soul forever. Thank you for sharing the powerful poetry.
