Take Me To The Hospital Poem by Karoliena Somura

My dad beat me bad this summer. He first punched my face which caused me to fall to the floor and I crawled toward the dresser where he took his foot and slammed it down the right side of my head to where my head hit the wooden floor. He stomped his foot down in the same position over and over again, until his knee started hurting which caused him to stop. This was a couple months ago, but the headaches havent gone away. Its not as bad as it was the first two weeks after it happened, but the aches are still there in the same places. It keeps me up at night, and Im starting to have a harder time in school and Im starting to forget many things. For example, the first week I went back to school, I forgot how to spell my name and where the gym was. Im a junior, I should know where that is. But those are just minor factors, I don't know what else might be wrong with me, but all I know is that it's done weird things to me. I dont know if its a physical injury or a mental injury, but I just know that I need to get checked out at the hospital. My family has been avoiding it because, if I go then I have to tell the doctor how I have these headaches. But my mom said she'll finally take me on a day when my dads at school(finally getting his degree) and when I come up with a story. I did, Im just gona say my nonexistant boyfriend did it haha. Understand, my moms in a tight spot too, shes scared of my dad just as much as I am, and shes been through alot too. Its a very complicated situation, so please don't judge and just enjoy the poems, they are what keeps me somewhat sane.
