You
July 10, 2009
you;
speak loudly,
yelling.
what did i do now?
you;
pull back your fist,
screaming.
i tense for the blow.
you;
hit me hard,
angry.
but it doesnt hurt me anymore.
you;
pull back now,
enraged.
and i stay standing still.
you;
have hurt me again.
how could a mother do this to her child?
all i want is to be your friend.

no, it didnt happen to me. a lot of my poems are based on the hurt and pain i have inside of me and i just let it out...most of my poems arent true, just the concept of the pain is. :) thank you!
