Awakened in the night
awakened because of fright
out of bed she crawls
grabbing one of her dolls
her feet sliding on the floor
she slowly opens the door
she hears the screaming in the hall
and then she see's her mommy fall
mommy lies there on the ground
the child begins to look around
and there daddy shows a blank stare
mommy's hurt and daddy doesn't care
the child opens her mouth to speak
but the words just tremble her voice so weak
daddy picks up mommy as she screams
the blood flows down here head like a stream
the child watches just out of view
she hears bad words but only knows a few
daddy hits mommy again she yells in pain
the child speaks her words are in vain
daddy hits and then throws mommy on the floor
he pushes the child into bed and slams the door
the child cries
the door wont open no matter how hard she tries
she screams daddy no please don't hurt her
mommy didn't do anything wrong take me not her
the child cries and cries
the tears fill her baby blue eyes
she prays to God to let the problems cease
all she wants is a little bit of peace.
She cries as she lies on her bed
visions of her hurt mommy flow through her head
then come the sirens she hears
this just confirms all of her fears
the police man comes and takes the her in his arm
tells her that her daddy can no longer do her harm
that her mommy will be okay
but she can't see her today
as they leave she sees her daddy in the police car
tonight the childs view will leave her forever with an emotional scar


in the silence of the night I hear angels voices singing your name oh how beautiful is your name as they sing over and over.  (SPOKEN)

"its not like she can stand up.. when you beat her down with your love..."

was this something from personal experience?  I can't even imagine... wow.  

I think maybe the ending line is a little awkward.  or maybe its just me.  its seems like it has too many syllables.  but remember, i'm just an artist masquerading as a poet, so don't listen to me much.

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

dr. Jo quoting some DOGWOOD

"daddy dearest I love you please return it back christian family we once were do you still blame me?"

no not from personal experience just a poem, I like to try to look at things through different views I guess.  As blindside says,
"they're all liberated minds and I'm a narrow minded fool."

All these pieces I am reading today are blowing me away. Yours is no exception! There is so much emotion in this that I was taken back by its intensity.

You've outdone yourself here. Well done.

~AF~

Just because I hear voices doesn't mean I'm crazy...SHUT UP IN THERE!!!

It's so sad that children have to go through these things...maybe if we keep writing someone will listen...
Good Job!

yeah I know captivating...your poem actually inspired this one kinda.  I had been wanting to do a poem about spousal abuse but didn't know how to put it and then your thing about wendy did it, put it through a childs eyes.

Wow, speechless here. Very well written poem. I loved it. Sad thing and I hope this isn't a personal experience.

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
