A Broken Child, A Broken Home

Views (396) Pain Created on 4-2-08 Flag

He sits here alone under his broken bed,
feeling the bruise on the back of his head.

His mom and dad are outside, yelling at each other,
he wished he had a new dad and a new mother.

His wish comes true as he sits there and hides,
his dad killed his mom, then he commits suicide.

So the boy is sent away, to a new mom and dad,
a new happy family, now he wont be so sad.

But his happiness is short, for now he finds,
that his new parents are bad, they're not so kind.

They beat on him just as his parents did before,
he hides again, begging for them to do it no more.

They yell at him all day, call him different names,
making him feel unloved, making him feel ashamed.

He tells other people, but they don't seem to care,
nobody tries to help him, there is nobody there.

He runs away from home, hoping to get away,
but the police find him walking near the end of the day.

They take him back home, to his hateful family
because nobody knows, there is nobody to see.

All that he has been through, all of the pain.
he is too scared, he doesn't know how to explain

so now he wishes he had a new mom and dad,
to take away the pain, so he wont be so sad.

His wish comes true, they write his name on a stone,
now he will stay with Jesus forever, now he is not alone.


I read a story in a newspaper and it made me cry, the boy goes from one abusive family to another until they finally go too far. so i want you to pray for every child that has to go through such abuse that maybe they will get a family that truly loves them.

jessisakura16 Awwwwwwwww, that's soooo sad. And yet, most people that have the ability to stop the abuse will ignore this poem, if they come across it. A very good friend of mine grew up all of his life with an abusive mother; father was just as bad. It's better now but back then, he was only a child and couldn't do anything about it. I love him a lot and his mom's not so bad anymore. But I do hope that someday their won't be all these problems or at least leave the childern out of it! Geeze. Amazing, truly amazing poem. Deep emotions in it.

hpriestess My children were taken from me by their father who is abusive to them. No one would help me & when I finally got someone to listen & try to help, he had disappeared with them. It seems many times no one listens; no one cares. Mother's day is the hardest day of the year for me, next to their birthdays because what is the point of Mother's day without your children? Thank you for sharing your talent & bringing attention, however small it may seem, to such a real & horrible issue

Good use of rhyme here. A really provocative poem so well done. Not sure if it were to get attention to the only two lines that didn't rhyme, but either way it is still a very strong poem.
