The Child

Just..Kinda similar to my childhood in a way

The child sits alone

Watching them fight

Screaming and yelling

All through the night

 

The child looks away

As he grabs her hair

Beating her down

Her clothing with tears

 

The child cries silently

Hearing her plees

Trying to fight him off

Reaching for her keys

 

The child screams

As she sees what he's done

There was life in her eyes

Now she had none

 

The child dresses in black

Listening to the words spoken

One stupid fight

And now her family was broken

Really heartbreaking and I can tell very personal to you. The only thing I have to say is in line 15 stanza 3 I think you meant life instead of like. The last lines really stay with you..."And now her family was broken". Really emotional, great tempo, and imagery is great!

Wow so powerful and heart wrenching.
So well written and emotions so well expressed.
