Whipping The Hurt Away Poem by Ashley Jamie

Tears stream down my face
Looking down
Trying to ignore you screaming at me
Your hand raises
'Dont touch me' i scream
Clutching onto my hands, nails grinding into my skin
You continue to scream at me.
I unleash myself, run to my room
Salmming the door behind me.
looking in the mirror
face red and wet
Hesitating to breathe; cannot make out words.
I wipe the tears away, blood takes it place,
For her nails that dug into my skin, my finger
Made a wound in me
Thick blood leaks out.
I slide down my bedroom wall
Hiding in a corner
Burying my face in my hands and knees.
For i am scard
Sad
Hurt
Feelling as if life wanting to be taken,
I sit in the corner of my room
Whipping the tears,
The blood
The hurt away
