Abuse

A Poem by Matthew Kult

Abuse 

By 

Jayden DeVoir

I love you.
But I only feel pain.
Scars left black and blue.
I am your property to detain

Long ago, I was a free spirit.
Desired to be in your arms.
Now, I fear it.
Took off all your masks and charms.

I WANT TO BE! A bird in the sky
Spreading my wings and fly!
The Clouds will become my new home.
Forever ME, free to soar and roam!

I WANT TO BE! A cat on the run
Out in the sun, living life full of fun!
The streets will become my new home.
Forever ME, free on all four and roam!

Live in shame.
A shell of what I wanted to be.
I'm your cause, your blame.
Hiding away, scared to truly see.

I love you
But scars are all I have to gain
From beatings that leave me black and blue.
Punishing me with all your disdain.

I WANT TO BE! A bird in the sky
Spreading my wings and fly!
The clouds will become my new home.
Forever ME, free to soar and roam!

I WANT TO BE! A cat on the run
Put in the sun, living life full of fun!
The streets will be my new home.
Forever ME, free on all four and roam!

All I can do is wait and cry,
For the day you go too far and I die.

Author's Note

Matthew Kult
Something deeply personal to me. As an outsider looking in, I am not sure I could really touch the pure emotions. I only hope I have done this piece some justice. So please tear it up, rip it apart, let me know how you feel

With Love,

Jayden

Whether you intended to create such a poetic whirlwind or not, you certainly captured the many and varied ups and the downs of this rollercoaster we are each required to ride .. I sure hope if this is in any way autobiographical, you feel a whole lot better having got it off your chest .. with respect and kindest regards, Neville

You have touched emotions in this piece.... your words like blame, black and blue, punish, disdain show the reader that you are suffering form abuse.... I have seen much abuse in my volunteer work, between couples and it is horrifying to me; so I completely understand your emotions... it hurts!
Warmly, B

This poem is well written. I felt the highs of being and the lows. Imagining one's self as something else, like a bird, should never get old. One can never become something else. But that doesn't mean you can't FEEL like you are. Nicely penned. tyfs

Reads like song lyrics to me with the repetition. I think anyone would want to escape free and run forever from abuse. Sometimes it's just impossible to break the chains. Interesting poem, but after 6 years, I think you need something new.

Emotion packed. Living in a cage is not living. Take flight like the birds, to total freedom. Powerfully conveyed and descriptive too. Great piece Matthew .

Cats are so independent and live outside the box...life within that box is like being in prison.
Anne Sexton wrote about Freeing breath from its bad prison.
Why live if we can't really live.
Powerful write.

You handled a serious subject with beauty. "I use to be a free spirit", "I want to be a cat on the run". I hope anyone experiencing this can get out.

This really is raw, deep and powerful sincere and heartfelt. It touches the core of your heart and soul. And makes you feel angry and sad and hurt for you. Beautifully expressed. An open heart is always the first thing to get hurt. But also the first thing to be shared and given with honesty and openness. Thank you for sharing your heart with u all. Hugs.

My greatest sin is playing pretend. Acting as if a monster doesn't live within. And surely some I offend But allow me a chat. To show you what I feel It is madness not under a hat. As everything.. more..
