Stop Child Abuse
I sat alone in the cold dark room
I knew that he would be home soon
I really wish that people knew
how much pain I was going through
When a child is a victim of abuse by a member of their family, their world has changed forever. They may have loved their abuser and the abuser has turned the relationship into something sadistic and cruel. The victim of abuse is likely to feel very confused. How can they sort out the feelings of affection that they have for their abuser with the sick and disgusting act that was done to them. Feelings that result from abuse should not be buried away. As painful as it is, victims must talk about their experience and share their pain with others. Finding meaning in suffering is the road to healing.
I sat alone in the cold dark room

I really wish that people knew
how much pain I was going through
I went through this too and hoped and prayed that he wouldn't find me but you helped me so much. I am 13 years old now and finally told someone, so thanks so much, your poem was great, if it...
I'm left silent,
I'm left in pain.
You are so violent
and completely insane.
Tears run down my face
He screams, I cry harder
I look at my father
He is red and angry again
What did I do, why I do suffer?
Always a why, but never an answer
Hurt, pain,...
Shut your mouth and listen to what I have to say.
I'm going to take you back to that one specific day.
I was laying in bed alone while listening to you and him talk on the phone.
You said, "Well if they have the money I don't see why not.
I can totally relate. When I was born in 2005, I was abused by my birth mother. All I remember of my father was a smile, a face with ginger colored hair, and then he walked out of my life...
Your words to me are weakness.
They slay me to the ground.
Sometimes you make me feel lost,
Though I'm wishing I were found.
Smartest, hottest, most popular girl
She flashes a smile that would make your vision swirl
Silky brown hair down to her waist
Everyone she meets, she will embrace...
This is an amazing story... I haven't exactly been abused in this way, but in the way I was, I can still remember the trauma sometimes. And the sorrow, thinking that everyone I ever met would...
I hear the floor creek
Closer and closer toward my bedroom door
I try to stay quiet hiding under the covers
Though I know he will find me...
This poem hit right home for me. I was raped since I was 6 years old. I only left home 10 months ago. I sometimes wake up screaming, wishing I could just die to take away the pain inside. I...
surrounded by walls
no where to go
walls are closing in
no more air flow...
I can relate to most subjects the poems are written about. I've been in all the situations and understand and share the pain.
This young girl kept from sight
crying into the middle of the night
she fears that others will sense the shame
but was this girl really too blame?...
When I was 13 my world fell apart. My father started sexually abusing me. It went on till I was 16. Then he started making me go to the basement so he could take naked pictures of me. It went...
I tried to tell you
Now it's too late
I sit waiting
At heaven's gate
I was very touched by your poem. Thank you for sharing. It reminds me of all the things I've been through and of some of the things my friends have been through. I'm sorry to hear about your...
You told me that you loved me
And would never break my heart
You said that it was fun
That it wouldn't hurt.
I was raped, and he took my v-card. I was never the same. It broke me, and I'm still trying to repair.
