Tears Poem by Emily Casbourn

I cried today
I haven't in a while
My parents didn't notice it
I was upset
They were fixing up dinner
I was upstairs
I sat up watching a clip
I couldn't see why it happenned
That kid only 2 years old
Getting abused! ? ! ? !
I wanted to hit the mother
The step father too
They made me so mad
I felt bad
I started to tear up
It got worse as the clip played on
I couldn't believe what they had done
I cried even more looking at those bruises
They were all over her face
I wanted to scream
I wanted to save her
But how
She was already saved
She isn't alive
I watched the clip again to show my mother
She cried with me this time
I had a very bad feeling about it
I wanted to watch it again
Those images were already replaying in my mind
I was so upset I cried even more
I let it pour
I let my tears run
I couldn't help it
I couldn't even stop it
I felt useless
So even more tears came out
It ran me dry
I sit here now
Remembering it all
How could they have let it happen
I am so sorry little one
R.I.P now
You can be at peace now
Those tears ran one final time
I went to sleep
I was finally done.
