Ebony White Poet Rhyme Royal

Black and Blue

The room is dark and my
 heart races with fear 
He has hurt me before
 beating me black & blue
I tried to escape him but
there is no escaping
I fear if I leave him 
He will kill me
I ran I ran until I couldn’t
Run anymore
I ran I ran but he always 
Finds me
He beats me black and blue 
Like Ike beat Tina 
He beat me black and blue until 
He couldn’t no more
I scream I scream pleading 
For him to stop
He is taking my life with
With every punch 
And every slap 
Your hurting me Your hurting me
I start to scream
He beat me black and blue

Richard Lamoureux January 10, 2020 at 9:38 AM I grew up with an abusive dad and it took years for my mom to escape. She didn’t know how strong she was until she found the strength to walk away. I hope yours is a fictional account. If not I hope you find your way out.

Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2019 at 6:06 PM Ebony, welcome to Poetry Soup. You have written the truth that happens to so many women daily, and it is terribly sad. I always hope they go to a Hope House, but so many return. Very sad. Please post another poem or two for us to enjoy.
