Stop To Think

Stop to think... 
Why I cry? 
don't smack me 
just let me try. 
Stop to think... 
Who's hurt? 
Forget my friends 
let me be me for once 
let this be the end. 
Stop to think... 
Why me? 
did I make you mad? 
it don't give you the right to make me sad. 
Stop to think... 
Is it necessary? 
No it's not! 
I'm not a slave, 
so STOP THE VIOLENCE NOW!

This poem is emotionally charged. It deals with abuse both physical and emotional even mental abuse. I know I avoid people in my life that are verbally or otherwise abusive. It is difficult for me to deal with my step-dad sometimes also people on my mom's side of the family who have opinions about everything Lord knows. I want to say this is my life I never asked for your input.
