Abuse Poem by Teens

My Life In An Abusive Family

I live in a home where abuse is discipline and I can't go anywhere in the house without telling either my mom or dad. Also I feel like I'm in a prison. I am constantly being watched and followed around wherever I go. I want to leave but have nowhere to go, and the weather is too harsh at the moment.

Tears

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2014 with permission of the author.

Thousands of tears
Rush down my face.
Inside my mouth,
Blood is all I taste.

Blow by blow I take
the hits.
Through all of it
Not a sound I make.

I bite back
every ounce of pain.
Through hitting me
what does she gain?

A thousand tears run
down my face,
but not a single
sound escapes.
