Notes About The Poem
This is to open your eyes to the fact that child abused is not a new thing .
It was going on years ago but it was hidden away and became a dirty secret and a punishment for the children being abused
They were made to believe that they were the ones to blame and they did something to make it happen to them.
If they did speak out they were children with a problem and were telling lies to get attention.
ABUSED INTO SILENCE
Things that happened when we were young
Was better left unsaid
It wasn't spiders we were scared of or the
Monsters under the bed.
The thing we was scared of came in to our bedrooms at night
We were scared Children we were not strong Enough to fight.
When we had the courage we ran away but the Police bought us back the same day
And when we told someone it was no surprise
That the one responsible said We were Telling lies
So beaten abused In a life filled with violence
Children like me were abused into silence.
