First Poem Here
First Poem Here
He Hit Me
I cry again
as sneak enters
the back door
stealth like to
uproot my
innocence
he hit me
he hit me
my cries
my words
went unheard
my pleas
my pleas
went unresolved
I shake the ground
to no one's consternation
or frowns
he hit me
I stood tall
I stood tallest
to his oppression
to his rules
and laughing ways
I have the pain
the bruises
and heartbreak
to show
to show
the ones
in similar fates
to stand up for
one's beliefs
against his fist
his oppression
his restraints
his rules
and laughing ways
because in the end
I will always
have my dignity
and more dignity
than him
He hit me
I'll get back up
I'm tall
And proud
He hit me again
I'll get back up again
I'm tall, once again

Inspired from reading entries to first poem contest.
This poem is very cryptic to say the least. On Christmas day I awoke to bells tolling a funeral hymn. Mine. As I opened PS, my account here deleted, no forewarning, my world shivering it's winter chill. The day was dark and cold. I wanted to die. The next day a new seed planted. The poem contours on what they (I call them black bears) did to me (maybe deserving), my feelings and reactions. Forevermore I seeded and grew from that day on, yet I have to look the other way.
