Abused Poem by MNSRAlyssa Bii
Abused
Why do I feel this way?
I just want to get away
I didn't want it to end like this
I don't want to hear another hiss.
You gave me all these burdens to carry
All I ever wanted was to be free.
You gave me a lot of frustration
I just want to shoot my self with a gun.
You always said insulting things about me
You broke my self-esteem very badly
I just don't know why you yell
What did I do to deserve this hell
You never treated me with kindness
You always made a big fuss
You never supported me when I needed you
I always knew you were a shrew.
You were the one who gave me all these big cuts
You always shout at me when I take a shower for eight minutes
Every night, you would give me some beats
You never gave me any kind of sweets.
You would always hit me even when I'm being obedient
Whenever we're outside, people think that you're a good parent
You always locked me away in a room filled with darkness
You were the one who made me hopeless.

Hi Alyssa Very heart-rending narrative. spouting the extreme pain of being abused; and anger and contempt for the perpetrator of the crime. Very very poignant. Where is an end to domestic violence against women and girl-children? Whether is within the four walls of home or outside, women are looked at differently. This attitude should come to an end. The sooner the better. I tend to compare the story narrated in the poem (Of course, there is an underlying story in it) , with the extremely pleasant, respected, happy childhood we (three brothers and one sister) had at our home. Even so, I am able to relate to the victim, because violence against women is so common in India too. Very pertinent poem. The poet Showing maturity beyond the age.10
