Poem Artwork


I cry for the little girl
Bruised and alone
Her mama hits her every day
And her daddy's gone
Look at my grave
My soul screams from within
Tell someone NOW
Don't pay for their sin

I cry for the little boy
Who's hungry and cold
No blanket on his bed
Just a teddy bear to hold
Look at my grave
I was just like you
Tell someone NOW
You know what to do

I cry for the children
Beaten and abused
Haven't you had enough
Of being hit and used
Look at my grave
See my tortured face
Tell someone NOW
You could be in my place

Talk to a teacher
Or to a trusted friend
Stop the abuse right now
Let the hurting end
Look at my grave
I hid my bruises well
I promised in my heart
I would never tell

I hid in the darkness
Afraid of the light
Don't be like me
Stand up and fight
Tell someone NOW
You have a life to give
It's too late for me
But I want you to live

Sad but true.

Never too late Linda, this is also a very poetic creative piece. As they say, it's not over till the lady sings. Standing up in life takes courage, if courage is found it's never too late. I'm witness to this, when I came to my weak point back some years ago, many years ago, I dug up the courage to finally really face myself once and for all.and to face this crazy world for what it truely is. No I didn't like everything I saw but it truly help me grow in a positive light. I've never looked back since that day 20 some years back because I faced the other option. Which I didn't like either. take care and ml. G
