This poem is not about me. I am concerned about the amount of children and teens that speak of verbal abuse. This poem comes straight from my imagination. As some of you know my background is theatre as an actor, a writer, a producer and a director. My first love is directing. In writing I often assume a character. That is what I have done here, I have assumed a character.
a drop of my blood fills my tears,
tears that roll down my cheek, past
the frozen expression glued to my face,
standing weak kneed before you, feeling abused,
dazed by the velocity, the ferocity of your
tongue lashing, steals the breath of my
existence so Dad why are you surprised
a drop of my blood fills my tears
