I am

by Squishy Pencil

Just a bunch of random poems about the gang.

Johnny

I am abused

I wonder why my parents don't love me

I hear their scream

I see the beer cans

I want their love

I am abused

I am abused

I pretend I'm OK, not hurt, not scared

I feel his fists raining down on me

I touch the bruises, the cuts, the blood

I worry that one day it will go too far

I cry, but never in front of my Dad

I am abused

I am abused

I understand the gang cares, they love me, they are my family

I say "I'm OK"

I dream it will be true

I try to hide my pain

I hope they believe it's true

I am abused
