Poem Commentary

Just a glimpse into a chapter of my childhood.....

abused

take it back, the words you say 
you're not allowed to hurt me this way
you abused me every step of the way
leaving your mark every day
black and blue, tattered and worn
ere since the day i was born
the worst was on those drunken nights
when you started stupid fights
thinking that because you are a man
you can do anything you can
abusing your children, causing them pain
over and over and over again
a child called it, is the story of my life
you even stabbed me with a butcher knife
you laughed when i bled, you laughed when i cried
more often than not i wished i had died
the taste of blood i knew all to well
i had been condemned to hell
seeing me suffer made you smile
simply because you were vile
every day you killed me more
saying i was my mother, calling me a whore
no matter how hard i tried
you'd beat me til i almost die
you abused me every step of the way
leaving your mark every day
black and blue, tattered and worn
ere since the day i was born
the worst was on those drunken nights
when you started stupid fights
thinking that because you are a man
you can do anything you can
abusing your children, causing them pain
over and over and over again
a child called it, is the story of my life
you even stabbed me with a butcher knife
you laughed when i bled, you laughed when i cried
more often than not i wished i had died
the taste of blood i knew all to well
i had been condemned to hell
seeing me suffer made you smile
simply because you were vile
every day you killed me more
saying i was my mother, calling me a whore
no matter how hard i tried
you'd beat me til i almost died

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
