Karen Adcock Poet Sonnet

Self Abuse

"Self Abuse"
Imagining how my own hand would taste
I want to  punch my own  face, is that such a disgrace?
I bet no one would ever know
It is I that throws the blows
Could I knock myself out?
Or should i just hit my own mouth?

Maybe Ill black my left eye 
Ill use the right one to cry
 just how long will it take
once I am out to awake?

This way I will recieve love and sympanthy
And lots of  company who pities me
Come on its time for the show
Today I will start by busting my nose!

Poet Destroyer A May 20, 2013 at 9:36 PM Karen, this is a very touching subject. Many will read this and relate to this kind of abuse or other forms of abuse. God, bless us all, especially the one's who found the strength in knowing we are not alone..... Congratulations, in Susan's "ABUSE" contest... Goodnight **PD

Therese Bacha May 20, 2013 at 8:55 AM If its true, don't blame yourself, as it takes a lot of courage to do that, my son would bang his hand to wall break it instead of hitting back his abusive partner. What you did is because you are a very sensitive human being, and kind.Take care congrats. Love Terry xoxo
