Edward Ebbs Poet Couplet

I Cannot Hide

Oh mom I see your blood.
It runs from your nose like a flood.

I cannot run or even hide.
I am screaming inside.

Why is he after me.
I am too little to flee.

I cannot scream or cry aloud.
Oh God, who am I now.

Where are you mom for I fear.
Oh God, I need you near.

I am so confused.
Why have I been abused.

Mom I see an Angel near.
Now we have nothing to fear.

Why did he do these things to us...

Edward J. Ebbs :(

Jacque Graham November 1, 2011 at 1:24 PM Well written, I can feel the emotion through your poem. It's good that you write about this, it brings awareness to domestic abuse.
