Someone Please Help Me

Through my eyes what do you see A broken frightened child is me. Slaps an punches I will receive Throughout this day was the key Someone "please help me" Life is dark here, no sun shines through, only darkness follows me. No where to run No where to hide I wish I would of died. Someone "please help me" Pretends an Lies are this place Many many scars upon my face. Black an blue is my body I wish that I had somebody to take this pain away. Someone "please help me" Cold an alone is my life here A few years old an never told I love you dear, just come here Momma's here. Broken bones are just a game that sometimes just takes place Someone "please help me" One blow to my skull to much Mommy an Daddy's final touch Blood over flows the floor An Daddy gives me just one more No more tears upon my face My life will be forever erased Someone "please find me" Pain an hate at only eight was a life for me in hell. Where Mommy an Daddy will rot in Jail.

In Hawai'i, this could easily be entitled, "Ode to Peter Boy" who was beaten to death by his parents after years of abuse under the "watchful" eye of Chld Protective Services". Well done!

Another 7 for being brave enough to help put them in Jail. I wish only good things for you. I totally relate.

This is definitely a touching poem. You really took me through the motions of your pain and desperation. I truly pray that God heals your heart and the wounds in your soul. You are a victorer!

It is many years since I worked with children who had been abused in fact I was doing my nursery nursing training and I found some of the stories so traumatic - i was only about 17 at the time - i now work in school with children with autism but do come into contact with children who have terrible life issues:-( hugs Jan xx

Thank you so much, may God bless you helping those who can an need the help, so many times things are done to so many small ones they have no one. I wish that someone would of been there for me, I give you much respect an I hope that God blesses you in many ways for helping those who have been hurt by the ones that are to keep us safe. My heart breaks inside for everyone who has ever been hurt.

I write these dark pieces because my childhood is dark an all the things I went through an had to do, was painful to so as much. I find it easy to put my past into poems, without actually talking about my past, if ever I affend anyone, I'm truly sorry its just easy for me to put my pain into poems than talk to a person.
