To Be Abused
Written By: Amy Zachow

How can one person fully explain how it feels to be abused by a loved one?
One thing for sure that no matter what or who being abused is no fun.

To be abused a part of you inside dies.
While the outside and inside of you cries.

We sit to wonder to ourselves on a daily basis, “why me?”
At night we pray to ourselves to please let me be!

The tears I once shed, was not tears of joy but tears of pain
For to be abused by my step father, I had nothing to gain

Each night I would lay there only to hear how much he loved me
To hear those words would make me think, then why don’t you just set me
free, and leave me be.

Was this treatment something I deserved?
For this act of abuse always got on my last nerve

To hear the words “don’t tell or I will hurt you”
The words of power to make me think were so very true.

These were the words that always kept me so very quiet
For I felt I wasn’t worth the aftermath of a riot.

To be abused a person always feels so violated
For now all my trust and love has been wounded.

To be abused is always a case of being too ashamed or too afraid to tell
So many times I wanted to give him his final farewell,
Then tell him to go to hell.

To abuse someone is one, who had serious problems and needs help,
And I don’t mean anything like self-help.

So please do the world a favor and seek professional help!!
