Did you ever wonder what it was like <br />to be the child that screamed at night <br />to lay bed and try to sleep <br />with thoughts in your head that run so deep <br /> <br />Trying to figure out why you'll here <br />hurting knowing that you live in fear <br />you want to cry but you don't dare <br />because you knew they didn't care <br /> <br />To go to bed and not get to eat <br />because you made them mad and you got beat <br />to hold your head and start to cry <br />sometimes i even wanted to die <br /> <br />To feel the pain every time he hit <br />and wonder if he'll ever quit <br />sometimes the pain hurt really bad <br />but it only got worse when i made him mad <br /> <br />But he wasn't the only one in this <br />because she did it to, like she couldn't resist <br />not so funny to go to bed <br />with your hand holding a swollen head <br /> <br />To go to school in dirty clothes <br />why they treated you this way, no one knows <br />the pain that they inflicted will never heal <br />but there are some that will never know how i feel <br /> <br />I stand there and take every lick <br />want to fight back, i want to kick <br />i try so hard to resist the pain <br />but sometimes it's enough to drive a child insane <br /> <br />So before you start to judge a child <br />you better stop and think a while <br />because you don't know, what a child has been through <br />unless you have actually had it happen to you <br /> <br />So sit and think about what i said <br />and please let it sink in your head <br />please understand and love your child <br />treat them right and make em smile<br /><br />Tracy Rollings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-don-t-know-child-abuse/
