I hear the glass smash again
And I sink into myself
The raised voices
Are always the worst things I hear

I hate it when you argue
But you never listen to me
I am just a kid
You don’t know how much it hurts me

I wish I had the strength to stop it
But I feel so weak
And I know
I will become the next target for you

I can feel the leather striking me
While I cower on the bed
And my mother screams at you
To stop

You never do though
You bring the belt down
Causing the pain to fly through my body
And me to scream out

You will never know how much I fear and hate you
You have turned me into this
I have to hide inside myself to find any peace
I have to hide away from you

I can still hear the screams inside my head
And wish I had had the strength
To stop you
Back then

You will never know how much you scared me
When all I wanted was your love
Why could you not give it to me?
Why?

I say that you don’t run my life
But you still do
I crumble every time I hear your voice
And turn into that scared child again


I never want to be like you
But I fear that I will
I know of no other way
You never showed it to me

It is true that I have independence
But I still that the wall within me
I never want anyone to see
That scared child inside

For that I will always hate you
Why could you never be my Dad?
You could never break the cycle
You were never strong enough
And you passed it onto me.

This is really touching....

I loved it, it was so sad and I felt for you very very much. Very well done and effective. Can't wait to read more of your stuff.
