hey all, i think my writers block may be gone *spins around in happy circles* Plz read this and reply honestly, thanks! -fear-

no one to hit
no one to strike
aww daddy
what are you gonna do
without me in your life?

you say you're sorry
but oh well
cause i finally got the courage to tell mom
and now you're in jail

maybe now you know how it feels
to have your life resemble hell
cause for 13 years
i had nobody to tell

in your letters you say
"I still love you."
what? is that supposed to make me cry?
i guess you shoulda thought about that
before you beat the tears from my swollen eyes

-fear-

Woohoo!  Awesome.. no more annoying writer's block!  

This poem is well written.  the emotions all throughout are portrayed vey well.  I'm sorry that you ever went through this.

You say you want a critique on the poem.  that's what I'll give you.  I think the flow in some places is great.  The first few lines of the first stanza, for instance is excellent.  The last line, however, is too long for the rest of the stanza.  I think that first stanza should be written line this:
"no one to hit
no one to strike
aww daddy
what are you gonna do
without me in your life?"
That would help the flow, and make the rhyme scheme a bit more creative.
The rest of the stanzas, although having a pretty good rhyme scheme going on, have no flow.  The lines are very staggered, and that disrupts the meter quite a bit.  I would suggest going through, and making the rest of the poem like the first stanza.

I did enjoy this poem.  The last line hit very hard, and no deserves to have to live with that kind of abuse.  I hope you know that.  Congrats again, on getting your muse back

This poem was really good. If something is wrong in your life, it's never too late to fix it....
Hope all turns out well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Congrats on getting over writers block!

This was a great poem.  The last line really hit me hard.  I really do hope that the part about him being in jail is also real.  That is where anyone who abuses someone like this should be.  *hugz*

I need more time to find the real me...
