our paths crossed
when i was very young
and you were quick to acknowldge
that i was a terrible stepson
not even 9
yet the hate was there
i tried to reach out
but you never cared
pointing out my flaws
in each and every way
you destroyed my self-esteem
and it's gone to this day
my grades were too low
my body not that strong
and as your fists beat me down
you said i was in the wrong
with each broken rib
and every bloody nose
you'd tell me i was worthless
and you were right i suppose
the buckles on your belts
left scars on my back
after 12 years of abuse
confidence i lack
you'd make me dust
so you could test with a white glove
but no matter my efforts
it was never clean enough
"pick your punishment"
the only game we'd play
where i got to choose
which belt would bring me pain
"sir, yes sir"
i'd speak, eyes on the floor
because if i looked at your face
you'd punch me some more
you said i was ugly
well it must be true
i hate my reflection
because i all see is you

| well if your ex step dad ever said you had no talents, he was seriously mistaken, because your talent shone through brilliantly in this. a masterpiece. very impressing bit of poetry, but the cost of it being written, i think was too great. |

Well I'm very happy to know he's an ex step dad. There's no justification for this kind of abuse from a step father or any one else especially to a child or young man.
he should be in prison for his actions.
U are a very tlented writer so keep writing. Always remember he's the ugly one with a big problem.
One of these days he'll meet his match and get back all that he gave. That's just a fact of life.
he best be happy he wasn't my childrens step father. He wouldn't wonna ever abuse another child after I finished with him. I'd pick up an equalizer and show him how it felt to be abused.
Don't let that bimbo hurt your life any more than he already has.
Every day go to your mirror and tell your reflection, I know I'm somebody 'cause God don't make no junk.
luv, big hugs, prayer,
emy |
