Hurting Me Poem by Fantasia Armstrong

A busted eye, a black lip,
Bruises down my spine,
What did I do to deserve this
I try to please you in every way
but nothing is ever right.
You tell me im nobody and that im nothing
I try to myself your lying and that im am a
somebody, and that I am something.
You beat me til im black a blue, over things
I didn't do.
You laugh and call me humiliating names,
I try and shrug it off and ignore it but
It cause me great pain.
Your jealous, even when im hanging with friends
I told you to grow up and be a man.
oh I've done it now because I spoke my mind
So you hit me, choke me, slap me and plain right beat me one last time. Yes, one last time because this time you beat me til I had no life.
