Someone Please Help Me

Through my eyes what do you see
  A broken frightened child is me.
  Slaps an punches I will receive
  Throughout this day was the key
  Someone   "please help me"
 
  Life is dark here, no sun shines
  through, only darkness follows me.
  No where to run  No where to hide
  I wish I would of died.
  Someone  "please help me"

  Pretends an Lies are this place
  Many many scars upon my face.
  Black an blue is my body
  I wish that I had somebody 
  to take this pain away.
  Someone "please help me"

  Cold an alone is my life here 
  A few years old an never told
  I love you dear,  just come here
  Momma's here.
  Broken bones are just a game
  that sometimes just takes place
  Someone "please help me"
 
  One blow to my skull to much
  Mommy an Daddy's final touch
  Blood over flows the floor
  An Daddy gives me just one more
  No more tears upon my face 
  My life will be forever erased 
  Someone "please find me"
 
  Pain an hate at only eight
  was a life for me in hell. 
  Where Mommy an Daddy
  will rot in Jail.

In Hawai'i, this could easily be entitled, "Ode to Peter Boy" who was beaten to death by his parents after years of abuse under the "watchful" eye of Chld Protective Services". Well done!

This is definitely a touching poem. You really took me through the motions of your pain and desperation. I truly pray that God heals your heart and the wounds in your soul. You are a victorer!

I wish that someone would of been there for me, I give you much respect an I hope that God blesses you in many ways for helping those who have been hurt by the ones that are to keep us safe. My heart breaks inside for everyone who has ever been hurt.

I write these dark pieces because my childhood is dark an all the things I went through an had to do, was painful to so as much. I find it easy to put my past into poems, without actually talking about my past, if ever I affend anyone, I'm truly sorry its just easy for me to put my pain into poems than talk to a person.
