Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends! 🙂
I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!
Today’s poem stems from my childhood. I was abused in numerous ways by people who should have been there to protect me. Today’s poem is about a scenario that happened countless times. I don’t understand it and never will. It helps to write about it. If you can relate to this poem, my heart breaks for you.
Anticipation
Dark poetry
I hear the anticipation in your footsteps
as they creep down the hallway
.
I know what I am waiting for
and what will happen next
.
you take off our blankets
and see what is happening
.
you beat her relentlessly
as I close my eyes
.
a beating is waiting for me,
but not from the one I fear most
.
I go back to sleep
and know it will happen again
Abuse is never OK. If a child ever tells you about being abused, don’t ignore it!!!
Thanks for reading, and until next time, stay safe, and be blessed!~ 🙂
