These Words Scream

Can't anyone see?

I'm holding a deep dark secret
It's swallowing me whole
I don't know where to turn
I don't know who to trust anymore
I don't know what will happen if I tell
What I know
"Mom" never there for me
She's out and about with her friends
Barely noticing that I'm alive
Dad- well foster dad-
He scares me
He threatens to beat me
He hits me
When something goes wrong
I'm left alone with these horrors, memories
Like the time
Where my older sister
Got grabbed by the throat
Or even when
My younger sister
Got grabbed by the hair
And beaten with a broom
What about that time
Where my older brother
Stabbed my foster father
Or even when my foster father
Chased him with a car
And than beaten him
"Mom" almost broke my hand
When she beat me with a pole
I've been thrown, grabbed, pushed around
Just like a rag doll
Can't anyone see
What I hold back?
Can't anyone see that I'm alone
In this wrenching pain?
Can't anyone see
What I've seen?
