For My Brother

The violence rolls off him
Wave after wave
I have to be strong
I have to be brave
He grabs me and throws me
And I hit the wall
I land on the stairs
And I start to fall
Stair after stair
One after the other
As I hit bottom
I pray for my brother
He's only four
Already in bed
He can't take this
So I take it instead
I ran up the stairs
And went to my room
I hid in the closet
Quite as a tomb
The door was thrown open
And there he stood
He hit me then
As hard as he could
My head flew back
And hit the door
He pulled me out
And I fall to the floor
Hands around my throat
I start to choke
I hear him laugh
As though it's a joke
I can't breath anymore
The world's going black
I see the hate in his eyes
And know I'm not coming back
I pray for my brother
Keep him away from daddy's hate
Please get him away from here
Before it's too late

| Your poem touched me so deeply, I can't help but cry. No child or person should ever suffer this. |
