Verbal Abuse Poems - Poems about Verbal Abuse

One Day At A Time

You were always so good
At hiding yourself in the dark
I tried and I tried
To throw you out
Of the furthest 
recesses of my mind
And somehow 
you are still there
Embedded in 
the deepest crevices 
of my brain
Where I couldn't see you

Lurking there 
in the blackness
For thirty years 

Waiting ... 
for one of those days
When I'm down and

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

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 how was your day”
It’s alw’ys “Val, you’re a witch” “Val

Verbal Abuse Bullies

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 the same time
You are not helping with words unkind

Truth can

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 she talks, the less i can r’sist. 
They mult’ply and

Verbal Abuse

In the depths of words, a darkness twists,

Where pain and sorrow firmly persist.

Verbal arrows pierce with deadly aim,

Leaving wounds unseen, but no less aflame.


The tongue, a weapon of fierce distress,

Unleashing storms that life cannot suppress.

The power of words, both cruel and severe,

Striking at hearts, filling minds with fear.


Hear the echoes of harsh voices abound,

Destructive syllables,

Life Preserver

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 years together
as I flail in the waters of regret
for sticking

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

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 to believe 
that you're the one who's wrong

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.

To Let Go

How hard is the letting go when it’s all you know
Shadows under ice
   One
      Wrong
          Step
             Cracks become fissures to fall through
Shadow black eyes
   

Forged By Fire

My heart, my soul, my life
forged by fire
no longer your verbal
punching bag

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 you always take the backseat
My wants, my needs
Were put on

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 to hear the crunch of her skull,
But i feel it

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 abused me a second time because I didn't thank you
