Poetry: Child abuse

by Georgia Fowler

Created on: May 13, 2009   Last Updated: May 20, 2009

shadows in the bedroom

footsteps on the stairs

creaking on the landing

please don't touch me there

I don't want to do it

I know I'm being bad

I want so much to please him

mustn't make him mad

'don't tell mummy will you

it will make her so upset'

will nobody help me.

can't you see I'm hurting

I'm crying out to you

I don't like what you're doing

or do other daddies do this too?

I had my dreams to help me

lost myself in books

but now the book has ended

my life must start at last

I'm breaking free from the past
