Abuse Poem by Alicia Roseberry

she hits,
i bleed,
my life is nothing to her,
I'm useless to her,
unless she wants something,
the pain is unbearable,
every hit is another piece of my heart shattered,
i may be her daughter,
but i hate her with a passion,
she's done this one too many times,
my life is f***ed,
my mind is nothing,
i feel useless,
like she's using me for a punching bag,
my eyes begin to drag,
afraid to look into her eyes,
and get hit once more,
the bruses ache,
the pain in my head gets greater,
my life is only dirt to her,
like she can just brush me off,
she is my own mother,
but my personal demon as well,
i dispise her now,
because she makes me feel useless.


this poem is real, it is basically my feelings in words.. it was very hard for me to write this.... i cried for several hours after it was written.: (
