Poem Title:
Poem
Catching me out and truly unexpected Flashbacks that only bring tears to mind Children so powerless, no happiness to see Left in the darkness to fear night and sleep Nowhere to run, no one to care for them Cold blooded man with no heart or love Chillies for breakfast more punishment for tea Strappings and cruelty, their harsh reality Forced to watch and too scared to cry Strength inside but fear in our eyes, Never show weakness, take it on the chin Secretly hoping he pays for his sins So much fear, sadness and guilt Fear of not standing up to his build Sadness for the horrible things indured Guilt I wear for not making this stop Life has many challenges, we all know I should have dealt with mine years ago Instead I just pushed it so far below Locked deep out of sight, out of mind Letting this all impact on my life Feelings subtle in the background Slowly eating at my heart and soul Preventing me from being whole So this is a new promise to myself Finally remove it all from the shelf No more will it comfortably be dormant Day by day I will sweep it all out This is a journey....'A Road about to be driven'
