Survivors Poetry

Little Boy James

Oh heavenly father I pray today for love, for I've been rejected, I pray today for courage for I have been beaten, I pray today for a heart for I have been raped, I pray today for tears for I cannot cry wanting to let the pain out through the tears I shed, may you have mercy on their souls lord.

Yes I live in a world of my own, your world is full of questions you dare not ask, your world is filled with greed, fear, hurt, guilt and shame.

I see a small innocent child who has been raped, burnt, tortured, crying and weeping in pain....

Children, children gather around, all gathered around on that wooden floor, sat children suffering and feeling sore, not even a whisper or even a moan, all sat around a candle light, children looking around in fright, for what they see they dare not say, can anybody help them in any way.

Pain

You tied me to a radiator
You tied me to the bed
You only gave me water
When you lifted up my dying head

You locked me in the bathroom
The window was so small
I couldn’t crawl out of it
As my body was far too sore

You hurt me every time you tortured me
I tried so hard not to cry
But you came and gave me agony
That feeling, which was “I must die”

Now that I am seeking and crying for help
There’s nothing you can do
The fear, the pain, the suffering
Will be all left to me

Hate

I hate him, I hate him, what do, I do?
when I want to talk to someone, but find it
especially hard to even talk too you.

I can’t express my feelings
I can’t express my hurt
I don’t know how to tell you
That I always feel like dirt

I know your trying hard to help me,
I can tell in many ways, but the pain, the scars
cannot or will not heal the hate that lay within.

Only if I could be like you

If only I knew what I could do
to be a normal person just like you
It all happened to me when I was so young
and didn’t end until life just begun

The pain, the agony, the fear, the torturer
What does it matter, justice will not prevail
All I want is my life back, just like you!

The voices, that echo and trample beyond the
the little peace I have barely ticking away, the
fear of waiting for what to expect next.
the worry, the deep pain, the feeling of stress
can anybody help me from feeling so depressed?
