POEM OF PAIN
______________

HE DIDN'T CARE,HE IGNORED ME,HE ACTED LIKE I DIDN'T EXIST

HE HURT ME,BROKE ME,AND KILLED ME. HE BROUGHT ME PAIN

AND SORROW HE ALWAYS SAID SORRY BUT NEVER MENT IT. HE

HANGED OUT WITH ME BUT NEVER PAID ATTENTION.HE ALWAYS

THOUGHT I WAS DRAMATIC, HE TREATED ME LIKE THE DIRT YOU

STEP ON, HE BEAT ME, CUT ME, BRUISED ME, AND MUCH MORE PAIN,

AND STRESS CAME FROM BEING WITH HIM. HE WOULDN'T LEAVE

AND I COULDN'T LEAVE. I DID EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET

AWAY BUT NOTHING...NOTHING HAPPENED. HE CHEATED ON ME

HE MADE ME CRY. I WANTED TO DO ANYTHING TO GET AWAY, I

EVEN TRYED TO CUT MY VAINS OPEN JUST 2 GET AWAY HE MADE

ME AFAID 2 LIVE .I NEVER SHARED MY EMOTIONS WE NEVER

TALKED I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIS VOICE SOUNDS LIKE WHEN

HES HAPPY. HE YELLS AT ME,HE KICKS ME AND PUNCHES

LIKE A MAN. HE MAKES ME FAIL LIFE HE IS A MONSTER,PAIN IS HIS

HAPPYNESS. HE GIVES ME PAIN AND HE SMILES, I CRY AND HE JUST

LAUGHS WHEN I AM PASSED OUT ON THE GROUND HE STANDS OVER ME

AND WATCHS ME HURT THEN WALKS AWAY YELLING AT ME 2 CLEAN

DO EVERY THING IN THE HOUSE AND HE STARTS TALKING JUNK...UNTILL

I GOT FED UP. HE WAS SLEEPING 1 NIGHT AND I JUMPED OUT OF THE

WINDOW AND I STARTED RUNNING.HE TRYED 2 FIND ME THE NEXT

MORNING BUT HE COUULDN;T AND HE HE DIDN'T...FROM ALL THE THINGS

HE DID 2 ME I HAD BECOME STRONGER AND SMARTER GOT USED

IT BY RUNNING AWAY I MOVED 2 A NEW SCHOOL HOUSE AND EVEN

A NEW STATEI WAS HAPPY AND NW GONE NO MORE PAIN IN MY LIFE
