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...

this one really tells it like it is for some poor kids and the spouses of abuse. I really like this. Hope it did not happen to you growing up.

Well written, I can feel the emotion through your poem. It's good that you write about this, it brings awareness to domestic abuse.
