Why do you have to hit me,
When ever things don’t go just right?
You come home with an attitude,
And always pick a fight.

I barely walk through the door,
And you are already on my back.
When I don’t give in and argue,
You use a more physical attack.

I never thought it would be like this,
Not as close as we used to be.
But one day everything changed,
The day you started beating on me.

Sometimes I can be a pain,
This I already know.
But I would never hit you,
I could never stoop so low.

How can you hit your kid,
Just because of a bad day at work?
Then all you do is laugh,
Not realizing how much that hurts.

Is it really funny to you,
When you see me in pain?
How can you be so cruel?
What do you have to gain?

My chest is really hurting.
Do you want to see me cry?
Sorry I won’t give you the satisfaction.
I’d rather crawl in a hole and die.

Is it some sick game in your mind,
When you act the way you do?
But hearing your laughter in your voice,
Hurts more than the punch you threw.

Why do you have to hit me?
You say I deserve it, is that really true?
No it’s not my fault,
The one with a problem is you.

Thanks Smore.  It is nice to know that there are people out there who actually care.  I am lucky though, my brother left his friends and college to move here until I graduate and can leave too.

This is a good poem, but a bad situation. E-mail me if you ever need someone to talk to.

Hi Wicced_Witch

This person you write about is using thier control over you, because they do not have control over them selves. Your poem states so clearly the bottum line is that this person is the problem not you, you have such wisdom well before your time, and I hope you make it through to see that you were truly not at fault.

I too will always be here for you to talk to,

Cerenity

Wow....this is a really touching and powerful poem. I'm sorry about what your going through it must be really tough, but if you ever need to talk or anything. Email me. There's a poem I wrote maybe it'll help you out a bit. Called I've got a different view now... Hopefully that'll give ya hope. Keep your head up

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who is there if I need them.  Its great to know.

To JonE:  No offense, but you don't know how it is.  I had a cop at my house who witnessed my father hit me.  He could care less and were laughing along with him.  He even told me that my dad told them I hit him before, so if I tried to press charges against my father, he could get assault charges against me when all I did was defend myself.
