It wasn't Me

It wasn't me who made you cry.

It wasn't me who told you lies.

It wasn't me who brought you pain.

It wasn't me who left you stained.

 

It wasn't who who played those games.

It wasn't me who called you names

it wasn't me whose hits you took.

It wasn't me with the dirty looks.

 

But

 

It was me who felt your tears,

And it was me who heard your prayers

It was me who helped you heal,

And it was me who made you feel.

 

It was me who took the blame.

and it was me who always came.

It was me who you needed most.

And it will always be me to hold you close.

And thank the gods there are those who recognise the pain.
Bit close to home really but with the stats of those who suffer abuse in any form at 1 in 3
It will be close to home for many. I still wonder, when my eyes used to plead to be saved why no one knew. Looking back on old photo�s I can see a sort of death in childhood spark, to me its obvious. I look at children now and see a look in their innocent eyes and I just know there is something below the surface that�s not at all to good. The trouble is trying to coax it out of their mouths, even when you know they have something to tell its so hard finding a way to have them talk about it. Then I wonder without the 1 in 3 who has overcome childhood and grown who would recognise those children with pleading eyes? Not every child will be black and blue telling their story of pain.
Sad write, but unfortunately true for many.

This is a really good poem, I believe more people should read it. Its good to write about it, as well as write about it, if you are the one who was abused. It can be a starting of the healing process.
Well written poem Diana...I must also add here to...

'Adults need to be aware and children need to know their is help out there.' - you are quite right Diana. Thank you for writing this and I hope you have many more readers. The suffering is soul destroying and many times is unnecessary if more people understood what was happening.
Very good words.

I agrea with you in this Diana. Child Abuse needs to be gone from this world. Too many people in the world have lived with the pain way to long, and some have lost their life from it. It breaks my heart when I think of a child suffering. Great write. Thanks for getting the word out.

I am currently working on a piece about abuse so this fueled the fire that is already burning in my belly. This a well written piece and I appreciate seeing another who is trying to make a difference in the world with their words.

Excellent Job!!!

Hard to read and review; sorry, Diana. Well written but sad, tragic, disgusting. I don't know what to say. The pictures make it even worse.
