Hurt

By l mo

My body is hurt,

Bruised, broken, and frail.

It hurts when I walk,

When I talk, when I breathe.


I am hurt so much more

Than just physically.

It hurts me to think

About who did this to me.


I can't believe someone

Could be so damn heartless

To beat her own daughter

And then laugh about it.


Sometimes I just wish

That dad were here now.

Why did he leave me

With this woman from hell?


There isn't a place

Where I can escape from the pain.

They beat me at school,

And at home it's the same.


I'm afraid to make friends,

They'll discover my secret,

And abandon me here,

Just like my dad did.


I need to escape

From this hell hole called life.

I can't take much more of this,

She'll make me bleed 'til I die.


My body is hurt,

Bruised, broken, and frail.

It hurts when I walk,

When I talk, when I breathe.

    thanks, guys. And this isnt based on my life. I actually got the inspiration to write it from a story I read online, but I twisted the plot a bit. In the story it was the dad who was the villian, and the mom the dead protector.
