I Cannot Hide

Oh mom I see your blood. It runs from your nose like a flood. I cannot run or even hide. I am screaming inside. Why is he after me. I am too little to flee. I cannot scream or cry aloud. Oh God, who am I now. Where are you mom for I fear. Oh God, I need you near. I am so confused. Why have I been abused. Mom I see an Angel near. Now we have nothing to fear. Why did he do these things to us... Edward J. Ebbs :(

this one really tells it like it is for some poor kids and the spouses of abuse. I really like this. Hope it did not happen to you growing up.

Well written, I can feel the emotion through your poem. It's good that you write about this, it brings awareness to domestic abuse.
