This poem is about the time I was a little kid, and my mother finding the courage to fight back against my horrible step-father

The darkness closes in on me,
I shiver, shut my eyes.
He's coming in to get me now,
The one I so despise.

It was a mere two weeks ago,
I angered him again.
Had no idea what I did wrong,
Was only six back then.

He comes in with a wooden spoon,
An evil in his eyes.
Proceeds to hit me really hard,
Yet no one hears my cries.

My mother never said a word,
He frightened her as well.
I always used to pray for him
To go and rot in Hell.

The years went by and nothing changed,
He stuck to us like glue.
He used me like a stupid slave,
And locked me in the loo.

But then one day, that fateful day,
My mum just had enough.
She grabbed a broom and swung at him,
He thought he was so tough.

A rage I'd never seen before
Was flowing through her veins.
He couldn't win, she was too strong
She almost was insane.

And so he left, against his will,
The future now looked bright.
And now I stand up for myself,
She taught me how to fight.

Amazing damo, realy love this poem. Can relate to it in every way. Hope your future looked bright afterall. Let past be past since it can't be undone.

Feels odd though since I wrote a poem about the same topic a week ago

But I'm not here to compare, just to share, that I like yours alot

Keep up the amazing work!
