Best Battered Poems

Bruises disappeared, cuts and scratches gone
The scars inside will never heal
The roses are beautiful, your promises empty
You'll never know the way I feel

Self esteem removed, dignity stripped
Emotions drained, each day the same
How pathetic can you be to think
Somehow, some way, I might be to blame.

When God made woman, he gave her one of 
mans ribs which made her part of him...

Tomorrow it will be your turn.
Your turn to be beaten.
To get bruised.
To bleed.
Because you are wrong. 
The wrong sex. 
The wrong color. 
Just wrong.
Tomorrow is your turn.
Your turn to be mocked.
To be shamed.
Because of how you look.
...or don't look.
To be harassed. 
To be chastened and...

Mrs Gladys Wackjob:
“What the goodness is wrong with this hospital,
I receive better service in a restaurant.
You nurses sit there doing nothing while my
Husband is dying. Why isn’t anyone talking to me.
And you little miss perky nurse, Yes you,
With the 80’s hair style. Are you actually...

To all women battered by brutal men
Cast not the blame at the foot of heaven
The dyed cloth by brutality stained
Shake that rag in demon's lurrid face
The summons writ for him disdained
By God and the better virtues of the race.

Then come down to the spiritual waters...

If only it was a fantasy
A nightmare not reality
If only monsters were marked
So we could stay far far away.

In sickness and in health but this wasn’t there
Long are the days of the dark alley
If only walls had ears
I would tell it to grow arms.

For what...

Yesterday tropical storm Isaias battered Lindenwood,
I saw people walk past those trees bent by a vicious wind;  
they lost their umbrellas and their baseball caps:
they were warned to stay inside to avoid slips and falls.

This neighborhood is a sanctuary for starlings,
pigeons and little egrets...

In Bluebeard's castle I kicked open all the windows
With a dead man by my side
Countless women, locked up asunder
Were freed when that castle crumbled
But I still had to wait out the ending
With the stench of my years of slaving
Taking the dreading, the sickening
Feeling of constantly...

My ship had sailed life’s restless sea, the sails were weak and tore.
The hull had had its share of dents from sailing close to shore.
The deck was rotting with decay from careless steps I took,
The ship seemed in such disarray just everywhere I’d look.
But then...

Soar through the night sky
Ye Starlings with tattered wings.
Paradise awaits!...

With each clenched fist that you punch me
One step closer to hell you get
For I will not always be ten years old
And each beating you will live to regret

With each open hand that you slap my face
Your coffin you’re starting to build
You may think its...

Battered
March 18, 2014 at 4:37am
Bruised ,blemished, blamed,befell,
 
caught beneath your angry spell,
 
Bequeathed to you my battered soul.
 
I  have withstood your angry hell,
 
My face that tempts the fatal blow;
 
Battered by reckless insecurities.
 
My eyes tell- tales 

where err I go.
 
Passion's...

We sometimes drink and smoke so much We get beat until we are battered 
Our dreams were like one giant wall of glass where upon they were destined to be shattered
 Broken in a heap of glass we now stay occupied where lost souls continue...

TEDDY AND I 

Teddy is my childhood cuddly toy,
Who brought me a lifetime of joy,
He listened to all my baby cries,
Biding his time to reveal
His surprise!
I sucked on his ear, 
Had a regular chew,
Whilst I spoke to him in 
Gobbly  goo!
One day I dropped...
