Some feelings of the abused child.

 

Hello Teddy Bear, We need to talk.
I’m feeling truly sad.
I have a secret no one can know,
It’s something really bad.
~
Someone touched me in bad places,
He entered me deep inside.
He told me not to tell or he’d hurt me,
I want to run away and hide.
~
He dose things to me I don’t like,
He smacked me if I make a sound.
He waits till everyone leaves the house,
He does things when no one is around.
~
I tell them not to leave me here,
But no one understands why.
They tell me I can’t go along,
To stay home and do not cry.
~
Oh Teddy Bear I wish you could talk,
You could tell me what to do.
If I tell someone he might kill them.
So see the only one I can talk to is you.

~Collette~

    Teddy bears can talk, and they always will. You just need to listen.
    But Collette, on a serious note, be careful writing stuff like this for it might trigger things some have put behind them…
    But don’t get me wrong it was very well expressed : )

    Well Marie I hope it triggers awarness and lets others know this is a problem that although it is overlooked it still a very real problem in this world and needs to be dealt with. If one younger person reads this and realizes it’s ok to ask for help and know they won’t be faulted. Then it was worth writting, I do understand what your saying, but lets pray it brings awarness in a possitive way :)

    Another great poem, such a delicate situation to write about and makes me think about the children out there who are suffering from such an awful and disgusting act. This poem really touched me, great work.
