The Controversial Good Boy Gone Bad

When I was given birth to see this world,
I thought everything is meant to be as pretty as the blue sky,
How clear, how innocent, but I was wrong
I looked at my friends, I saw them running around happily
While I’m at the corner sobbing over the bruises on my body
Because once again,
You did it,
You hit me repeatedly with the head of your belt
Just because I couldn’t stop crying,
You didn’t understand, I cried because I couldn’t speak up,
Is that wrong to cry because I’m hungry for food?
I don’t know.

When I was given birth to see this world,
I thought everything is meant to be as pretty as the blue sky,
How clear, how innocent, but I was wrong
I overheard you saying that you didn’t want me at the first place,
But I’ve already grown,
You did it,
You finally expressed your hatred towards me
I can finally understand how “Pain” actually feels like,
But do you really know one thing?
I couldn’t bear the heat of the boiling water,
Deep down I was saying “Please don’t do it, mother”
But it was all too late,
You’ve given me a whole new look which everyone runs away from me
Do you think I should be proud of my new look?
I don’t know

When I was given birth to see this world,
I thought everything is meant to be as pretty as the blue sky,
How clear, how innocent, but I was wrong
When teacher told me to draw a perfect family portrait,
I cried,
I cried because I don’t know if you are my parents
Because if you are,
You will not strangle me and threw me to the table
It doesn’t feel comfortable at all,
Really,
It’s painful when my backbone hit the sharp edge of the table
But will you know how it feels like when you can’t walk at all?
I don’t know

When I was given birth to see this world,
I thought everything is meant to be as pretty as the blue sky,
How clear, how innocent, but I was wrong
You told me how proud you were when I learned how to say “PAPA”
But what made you changed?
What awakened the devil inside you?
What made you hate me so much?
I haven’t had the chance to even repay you for giving birth to me
But I shall never be able to do that,
Because you did it,
You thought by stepping on my head I will learn from my mistakes,
But guess you’re right,
I will never repeat my mistakes,
Because you just ended my life,
How do I feel after that?
I don’t know

I’m actually taking part in the Blogging Against Abuse organized by blogcatalog and I decided to pick on a topic about child abuse, it’s definitely very sad to see kids dying of child abuse. Those poems have nothing to do with me but it’s what they will say if you hear them carefully. How many kids are injured and how many died after being abused? I lost count.

Really, it’s sad to see things like this. Victims of child abuse will carry their bad memories forward and it will be an impact for them if abuse does not stop. We should be lucky to be able to have sweet childhood so think about what is happening around us, can we do something about it? I believe we can make a change.

I believe we have the power to stand up and say NO TO CHILD ABUSE!
