God's Gates

For anyone needing hope, peace, love, a friend. You're never alone.

GOD'S GATES

i don't fit in at all

they whisper and laugh as I walk the halls

they don't see what lies underneath

the bruises, the welts

only i know how badly they felt

not one person can know

or there will be even more hell at home

he drinks every night

mommy never stops him

she's always too high

he gets so mad

when that happens

everything goes bad

he comes at me fast

i have no time to react

i already know every blow will hurt more than the last

i scream out and cry

as his hands and fists fly

i don't know what i did wrong

but i know it was bad because he's never hit me this long

it's getting harder to breathe

as his blows pick up speed

i wish for it to end

i pray to God

he's my only friend

all of a sudden

the blows cease

and i am instantly filled with so much relief

as i lay in pain

i fade in and out

i feel my breathing go faint

i have no more strength

i let go now of all the evil and hate

because tonight i walk pain free right through GOD'S GATES

Author's Note

Abuse is real. Pain is real. Life is real.
Whatever religion, whatever you believe it... it doesn't matter. you are never alone in a world of hate and hurt. So many people live with a burden of hurt and we as humans can improve the world by encouraging, supporting, and being there for other's who need it.
