For My Brother

Contributed by JadedExistence on Monday, 26th January 2004 @ 12:48:52 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry

The violence rolls off him
Wave after wave
I have to be strong
I have to be brave

He grabs me and throws me
And I hit the wall
I land on the stairs
And I start to fall

Stair after stair
One after the other
As I hit bottom
I pray for my brother

He's only four
Already in bed
He can't take this
So I take it instead

I ran up the stairs
And went to my room
I hid in the closet
Quite as a tomb

The door was thrown open
And there he stood
He hit me then
As hard as he could

My head flew back
And hit the door
He pulled me out
And I fall to the floor

Hands around my throat
I start to choke
I hear him laugh
As though it's a joke

I can't breath anymore
The world's going black
I see the hate in his eyes
And know I'm not coming back

I pray for my brother
Keep him away from daddy's hate
Please get him away from here
Before it's too late

Your poem touched me so deeply, I can't help but cry. No child or person should ever suffer this.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
