Why Did You Abuse Me?
Why do you hurt me
when I did nothing wrong?
Why do you treat me
worse then a wild dog?
Why do you say to me
that I am worthless?
Without you I can,
I will succeed.
I won't stop running,
I will lead.
I will show you
I have a future!
Why do you make me
become your slave?
Why do you keep me
when I am hated?
Why do you hate me
when I don't hate you?
Without you I can,
I will succeed.
I won't stop running,
I will lead.
I will show you
I have a future!
Why can't you forgive me
for a simple mistake?
Why can't you help me
when I serve you?
Why can't you love me,
when I once loved you?
Without you I can,
I will succeed.
I won't stop running,
I will lead.
I will show you
I have a future!
Why did you trap me,
like an animal?
Why did you keep me
while I wanted to leave?
Why did you hold me
while I was your slave?
Without you I can,
I will succeed.
I won't stop running,
I will lead.
I will show you
I have a future!
Why did you break me
when I couldn't be broken?
Why did you brainwash me
so I was yours?
Why did you torture me
when my heart hurt?
Without you I can,
I will succeed.
I won't stop running,
I will lead.
I will show you
I have a future!
You didn't stop me.
I've healed my wounds.
You didn't scare me.
I am no longer afraid.
You didn't affect me.
I have won the battle.
Without you I succeeded.
I am running and leading!
I am living my future.
You are the failure,
and I despise you.
I am now FREE!
My daughter read us this poem last night after we picked her up. She had wrote it to get her questions to her abuser(my mother) out of her head and on to paper but also to express her feelings to give others courage. She is 14 and an inspiration to me.

Your words are amazing. I am 33 but I will hold these words and remember them. You are very intelligent I thought for a very long time that it was my fault and I was the failure. It gives me hope for you seeing this poem and I hope you can believe it and be free and succeed.
ReplyDeleteThis is great and every word applies to me and my abuser as well. I wish he were still alive. I would send it to him.The last six lines ? Truth and victory. Thank you.
