Child Abuse

I’ve been beaten, burned, whipped and thrown Slapped and scratched for no reason known My skin tells the story that I wished to ignore But the scars of my heart got deeper than before And so did the razor that was cutting my wrist My face became numb but I still felt your fist Pounding and smashing as I was covered in red Hope you’re happy now father, your daughter is dead

Julie, this is a very touching and a very sad poem... Many will read this and relate to this kind of abuse or other forms of abuse. God, bless us all, especially the one's who found the strength in knowing we are not alone..... Congratulations, in Susan's "ABUSE" contest... Goodnight **PD
