i am a teenager and write poetry to express myself everything that i meantion in my poems is about being hurt and lost and heartbroken and it is you that has given me hope so thnx so much you are an inspiration to me. Peace out.

Lauren

I can relate to your poem, it is something a child should never have to go through.

matt

i think your poem was just like my life in every way, my step-father abuses me and every day i live in fear of him doing it again,and all the pain that he caused flashes before my eyes every time i wake up. it was beautiful and it touched me,keep up the good work

Jacqueline

This poem brought tears to my eyes as I thought of all the children that go through this everyday of their lives, parents don't realize that how they live effects their children forever. What a shame !

Brandi

i especially liked this one. It sums up literally everything i went through with my memories too.

My parets too fought alot when I was young, but at the age of six, they split up and my mother married again and I hate the man she did marry, he hit me many times until there were bruises, my mum didn't care, all she could do was watch. I am scared of falling in love also, because I don't want that to happen to me, I am also scared to have a child, because I remember that pain I felt, and still do today. Thankyou for making it clear that I'm not alone. Please write more, I love reading them.

I voted for this poem because it really touched my heart in a special way. There are many people out there who can say they relate to this poem but don't reall know how it feels to be afraid to love someone. This is something that I went through in my daily life, but now I'm not afraid to love. LOve is the thing that keeps me going everyday.

The subject you talked about is very sad. I can feel the sadness in your words. If i wasn't wrong, your words also containes anger. I hope your poem will influence those parents who still don't know how their loved child feels when they fighting in front of them.

I can relate to this poem so much. You never know how much of an effect yelling a screaming will have on a child until your that child. I love this poem...it's so true to real life and I'm sorry that anyone else had to go thru this.

I loved your poem. Me and my mom sometimes cry, when we remember the pain. But we still grow strong

lena

I am in tears. I am a 16 year old girl and grew up watching my father beat and torture my mother daily. I can completely relate to what you say about being afraid to love. Even harder than that is being terrified of letting others love you. This is a terrific poem.

Cara

I loved this poem so much. I could relate with it because I went through the same thing. The poem was beautifully written and I brought tears to my eyes remembering the time when I went through it all. It was so horrible and there are scars inside that will never heal.
