You are good for nothing
Just sitting around
You'll never amount to
Anything, you little clown.
You are just trash , no
One to brag about
Get up , you dummy
You just sit there and pout.
Daddy, why can't you look
hard and see
The damage you are doing
The hurt you cause me.
You make me feel like I'm
Only 2 inches tall
No self esteem ,no
Dignity at all.
Can't you do anything right?
A wimp is all you are
You are just an idiot
You'll never go far.
Stop whining stupid , act
Your age
You don't want to get
Me in a rage.
Daddy, I simply won't feel
I'll shut my heart down.
When you curse and yell at
Me, I won't hear a sound.
I'll build a wall inside myself that
You can't break through
Your words won't ever hurt me
No matter what you do.
I simply won't feel.........
I simply won't feel.........
Verbal abuse can be as damaging to a child as physical abuse. It tears down the dreams of a child..sucks the life out of them...until they don't care...they don't feel...ever again.

we need not to kill a person ....if we kill his/her interests that is sufficient in our part we have killed him/her...in one way...so abusing is worst than killing...not only in childrens' psycological way even in adult psychology too, when a person starts ignoring us or depriving us then we start building walls to stop that other man feelings not to come in to our hearts...so as child did in your poem...it is very true...thanks for sharing
A powerful poem holding so much truth. Verbal and emotional abuse can be equally as damaging as physical. This touched me and I can relate to it well.Very well written Linda.

Dear heart Linda, it is always the most young or most old ... the weakest ... who seem to take a pounding either pyschological or physical isn't it. Again an outstanding write from a wonderful Lady who just happens to be one of the best writers at AD. I am always under your spell. Trapped by the webb you weave so well. Lots of emotion to you and that means a hug or two. Ok? Bill
