Torment
By Lisann
Did you ever realize what you did to me? Broke my heart, Soul and spirit? Those scars~ I will always carry. From my cradle to my grave. Embedded deeply in my being. Are your cruel tongue lashings, Blows, Sneers, Neglect and torment. I shudder with remembrance Of loud voices, Slaps, Rapes, Hair pulled Until my scalp cried out "No more." Trying to block it out. Laughing, and taunting me, When I needed comfort. Why couldn't you look at me NOT THROUGH ME. Speak softly TO me, NOT DOWN AT ME. See me as who I was A HUMAN BEING? Why? What did I ever do but be born? The choice was yours------- NOT MINE. If you didn't want me Than why did you bring me into your world of pain? The screams I hear from time to time...... Wake me up.... They are from ME. Will they ever cease? Will they ever be quiet? Now~ You are gone. I should have peace..... But~ The memories are still there. From my cradle to my grave. From a battered child Grown up, Crying out for a release of the pain. Written April 11th, 2002 © on Apr 10 2002 05:14 PM PST 0 • 1
