The Abuse Must End

I am nothing, have no real value I am less than the surrounding air I contribute no ideal to anything I do I have no memories or past to share
Life endless treading a lonesome path I give no heart to the conscious life I only cause hate and horrid wrath I bring darkness, emptiness, strife
This I've been told since my time began Drummed daily into my head and heart Shown time upon time little worth I am Never given a chance from the start
Too many children and young adults live With these same feelings and physical abuse They're hurt every second, never any give They've no where to go, so what's the use
Living with fear in their abusive homes Nothing they do seems to stop the pain Spending their days feeling unloved, all alone Despair, hopelessness around them rains
Time to stand up for these kids, we adults They need us to become their new friends Need to let them know it's not their fault Time for emotional, physical abuse to end
Give them moments of love, genuine kindness Wrap them within our arms, build a safety net Create a world of light, shut out the darkness Give them hope for a world we won't regret
Help them survive this madness, despair Stop the cycle of hate within their home Side by side, give them dreams to share Let us show them they are never alone

It's a bit downbeat. Try and be more positive. Write about a cat who gets the cream or an earlybird who gets the worm. Just don't write it from the worms point of view and then it will be ok! |

I'm commenting mainly to counter the last. I think you should certainly write to raise awareness of the things that are wrong with the world. There's no point glossing over things that are wrong. You should share your views on how things should be made right. That's part of art's function.
