Verbal Abuse
A person who's being verbally abusive toward another will have taken its tolls on
everybody. It hurts the feelings of every human being, including me. These people had been
verbally abusive toward each other since the day the siblings (little brothers and little
sisters) had been born, ever...

Subjugated To Verbal Abuse
You were probably having a bad day but that was no excuse.
When you gave me a lift, I had to be subjugated to your verbal abuse.
I didn't retaliate, your abuse was something that I took.
But later you chose to verbally abuse me again on Facebook.
You...

Premium Member Verbal Abuse
from the time you wake
he gnaws at you
about anything and everything
his voice drills into you like nails
every day the same record plays
always the same voice
telling you how you hate him
telling you how the house is a mess
the kids won't listen
same argument every day
until you start...

Premium Member Verbal Abuse
Boneless tongue 
Breaking heart
Like a drum
Beating starts 
Curses curled
Painting pain
Verses hurled
All in vain 
Name calling
Verbs abused
Heart falling
Words used
Start with N
End with grin
Worse shaming
To offend
Soul of gold
Blackened skin
Be so bold
To defend
Words absurd
Can’t break in
God’s true herd
Despite sin...

Violet violent voice
As if you have no choice
You choose to be mean and demeaning 
Then don’t understand
Heavy hands that wave screaming

Your cancerous mouth shouts
Cursing screaming and loud
As if you have a lift to be
Better than a higher power cloud
You can not be loving
And hurtful at...

Verbal Abuse of Children
Verbal Abuse of Children

By Elton Camp

While it’s true that words may not break bones
They can lead to a lifetime of sorrowful moans

When said to a child, far more than an adult
Feelings of rejection & no worth may result

To tell some kid that he’s stupid as...

Primitive Weapon
Roses are red
violets are blue
Your mouth is rubber
My feelings are glue
Why must you hate
I haven't a clue
Your narcissistic
Negative mind
Affects us too
Every time
Soon you'll find
Yourself alone
But before I go
I've got one more poem
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your words really f****** hurt...

Storms
he is like the weather, inconsistent and unpredictable.
and we're like meteorologists,
always trying to predict when the rain will come and go.
but the truth is we don't know.
sometimes there's not a cloud in the sky yet the rain still falls....

I Loved You, I Love Me More
I used to love you
More than I loved myself
But our love took a dark turn
I cared for you, lied for you
Even stood in front of a bullet
I would have died for you
Without a second thought
See,
There's grave danger in putting someone else before you
Because it means...

Escaping the depths of the murky lake,
leg-kicking upward in frantic haste,
arms grasp for purchase
in what surely will be my watery grave.
Head breaks the surface,
lungs gulp for precious air,
burning, aching subsides,
drown-panic-dying moment passes.
Another failed attempt by me
to prove I am not aqua phobic.
So reminiscent of our...

I Cry For My Mother
I cry for my mother
because that voice, which is like a shear,
presses its blade unto her skin— 
drip — gore oozes from the wound; she doesn’t shed a tear,
but i feel it within.

that voice, which is like a shark,
sinks its teeth around her head—
slowly enough...

Deeper Than Knives
My mother’s words cut deeper than knives.
They slash me and live deep inside my skin. 
Tr’velling to my heart, they eat me alive. 
Negative remarks radiate within. 

“I could just murder you right now, you witch.”
I keep telling mys’lf I don’t believe her,
But the more...

My First Bully
I’m often told I am not good enough,
According to my mom, I do nothing right. 
She yells and insults and leaves in a huff.
Her cruel remarks, they haunt me at night. 

I’m told to do this, I’m told to do that
But i’m never asked “Val...
