Footsteps
Footsteps across the kitchen floor
The sound of pitter paddle is all that can be heard
Seeking across the floor to see her
Footsteps grew louder as my heart rate grew faster with excitent
His voice grew louder
His words that could cannot be repeated filled my head
The cold and cruel words are still there in my head
He hurt her
Yet I still loved him
How could I not
Till the day she flew away to the sky
I loved him
Her adsent made him colder
He was no longer a man
He was a shell
He was nothing more than a lifeless body
As time passed he became over powered with anger
The anger was now the leather that hit my skin
The anger was now the pain that brusted through my side
The cold words were now direct at me
He said I would never be loved
I was useless like my mother
A boy would never love me
Epsecially the boy I loved
I would always be a toy
He pulled me out of school
For I was to dumb to be seen in public
I had to be protected from the boy
The boy would reck my life he said
His lie hid the truth
He could not take the change the boy would see the marks
He could not go to jail for the crime he did
I came to believe him
I would never have a furture
I was not smart or pretty enough
But now I look around
That boy he fought to ripe out of man life is by myside
The friends he hid me from
Surround me with love
He broke me like I was made of glass
Like I was made of paper
But I am raising from the ground
Like a skyscaraper
Still till this very day I will never understand
How a parent could do that to their child
He can no longer stop me from living and being happy
The pain he once caused spikes my heart rate
Now aderline rushes through me
Now I stand
Now my footsteps are louder
Now my footsteps match a rythem that cannot be beat
Now my footsteps run to stop Domestic Abuse
Now my footsteps make pitter patter sounds
With joy as voices grow louder
Voices that cry out
Voices that make a stand
Voices that make a different
The voices that fight
The voices that live...
