Dysfunctional

Mommy yells at daddy
Daddy yells at mommy
Mommy runs in her room and cries
Daddy goes out for a drive
Mommy yells at me
Mommy yells at sister
Then mommy hits her
Sister runs in her room
I am already there
Try to block it out
Daddy comes home and starts to shout
I bravely walk out and tell daddy
He is scaring sister
He tells me I’m in trouble
Then he comes after me
Into my room I flee
Hide with my dolls
I am still not safe
Daddy comes through the door
Hits me until I’m on the floor
Between tears I tell him please stop
He is hurting me
Sister is crying on her bed
This isn’t what I wanted
Daddy asks me if I learned my lesson
I answer yes, but I don’t know what I did
Daddy goes away for now
In trouble I’ll get in somehow
Then daddy will be back
And then again I’ll feel his wrath


For everyone's information this is about my childhood.

I weep for the scared little girl locked up inside you..may she find gentle love and compassion

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

darkstar, I'm real sorry you had that childhood... I hope you find inner peace one day, but in saying that, I do understand the scars will be there forever, I guess nothing can sorta take those feelings away - but writing does help.  Take care.  ~ Tara ~
