Tracey Lawrence Poet I do not know?

Dad Don'T Hurt Me

Dad is a drunk 
And mum is just the same 
I love them both dearly 
But they inflict me with so much pain
He threw me into walls 
Punched me into floors 
Forced me to the bed 
Made me wish that I was dead 
Bruises on my body 
Bruises on my skin 
Blood on my lip 
Blood is on everything 
He’s come home again angry 
And mum is stoned and weak 
Im all alone and defenseless
I just want to go to sleep 
He takes me by the hair 
And throws me to the ground 
Kicking punching screaming 
And I don’t make a sound 
Tears soak the floor 
And the tears are turning red 
Please stop the pain 
I wish I was dead.

Pandita Sietesantos August 22, 2014 at 12:26 PM Hi Tracey, this is yet another sad write that touched me deeply. And again I hope that this was not inspired by your own real life experiences. I hate to think that you suffered this kind of abuse from people who are supposed to cherish you. Very well-penned. Hugs and warmest regards. Pandita
