Dark Nights

I hear Laughter mocking the bruises on my face I see heads shake out of the corner of my eye As i walk on my the fingers pointing at me To judge the one they see but do not know But i laugh Because they were expecting this quiet little girl That's high up in a tower waiting for her Prince Charming to come around Hair so long that it touch the ground But what they failed to realize is that i am not Rapunzel I am not expecting a "Fairy Tale Ending"Maybe next time around Because Happily ever after are not real they don't exist Maybe because i can't forget What life is about Don't get me wrong i Don't got it all figured out I'm young but best believe i am not blind i can't pretend i have already seen the horrible bits and pieces and it is filled with a bunch of little men But let me began by saying I hate that fact that woman are expect to do anything for love That four letter word is enough to make a woman forgive a man for putting his hand on her I know it is enough because it was enough for me When my boyfriend smack me down to the concrete ground And i saw my blood My blood everywhere For expressing my feeling over something that wasn't important so basically over nothing Then he used the words I Love you The same way my dad used to when it was me he was about to loose And i stood up and I said " you know what Baby it is okay "while i wiped the blood off my face Now i bet your calling me dumb or stupid right now but let me explain before you go pointing your finger to judge Thought out my child hood starting at the age of three this is all i seen hands coming flying at me Everyone one was there but no one was there to speak when i was a little three year old girl getting beat But still no one spoke when i was 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 or even 12 I was the on to speak when i was thirteen And now i stand right here at age fifteen to tell you woman abuse is NOT okay even if that is how you were raised Woman are not punching bags we are your equals and that is how you should treat us Not like the scum off the bottom of you shoes And if you choose to i will do the same to you as the hand that smacked me down and the people laughing, Commenting, and judging Say Thanks for your ignorance people like you is why i stand here today And i will not left my voice fade away behind your laughing,commenting, and judging Your strength should be in the words that you speak And even though words may cut deep at least you will not see the scars that you see on me
