  The recurring Nightmare


Empty, alone, sad
My bitterness is growing
As I get mad

Lost, scared and confused
I am not sure, who I can talk to?
He gawks and he glares
What is he looking at?
Does he think I care?

Anxiety, depression and hurt
I feel my heart pace
My emotions soar

As I kick the dirt
I want to smash his face in
I don't want to let him win

He slaps me and I fall to the floor
With a belt he let's out a good whack
He can’t win in my dreams

I won’t be abused again
I won’t be used again
I have a voice now
I am safe now on my bed
I can even punch him in the face

Can I stop these nightmares from recurring?

Good but I wonder if it is good for children. I know many live with this but is there any hope you can give them?

I Thought it expressed real emotion but I think its a Little to Harsh for children. I didnt see the hope either. But very real.
