STOP Child Abuse

What is more horrible than being physically abused? Believing that bruises and blemishes on your face and body is a normal thing to have? Believing that pain is love, or that pain is normal? 

Yes the worst thing about being abused is not the physical pain or about the bruises and blemishes that appears on ones face and body, but the emotional scar that never leaves you even when you grew older. The subconscious denial you have or the answers you search when you ask the question why? "Why am I being treated this way?" "Why are my parents angry?" "Why are they doing this?" "Why me?"

Being a child to me is being carefree about the world. The time where we would have fun, make friends and learn all sorts of thing and just be happy. We would have endless things to worry about when we get older, so as a child, we were blessed with not having to care about it - or that is how it should be. It should not hurt to be a child.

I read this on a website and I thought I should share this with you guys. If you are even half a human, you would feel crushed reading this poem. 

My name is Sarah 
I am but 3 

My eyes are swollen, 

I cannot see 

I must be stupid 

I must be bad 

what else could 

make my daddy so mad? 

I wish i were better 

I wish i werent ugly 

Then maybe my 

mommy would still 

want to hug me 

I cant speak at all 

I cant do no wrong 

Or i'm locked up 

all the day long 

When i awake i'm all alone 

The house is dark 

my folks arent home 

When my mommy does come 

I'll try and be nice 

and maybe i'll get just 

one whipping tonight. 

Dont make a sound 

I just heard a car 

My daddy is back 

from Charlie's Bar 

I hear him curse 

my name he calls 

I press myself 

against the wall 

I try and hide 

From his evil eyes 

I'm so afraid now 

I'm starting to cry 

He finds me weeping 

He shouts ugly words 

He says its my fault 

he suffers at work 

He slaps me and hits me 

And yells at me more 

I finally get free 

I run for the door 

He's already locked it 

I start to bawl 

He takes me and throws me 

Against the hard wall 

I fall to the floor 

with bones nearly broken 

My daddy continues 

with more bad words spoken 

I'm sorry I scream 

But now its to late 

His face had been twisted 

Into unimaginable hate 

The hurt the pain 

Again and again 

Oh god have mercy 

Oh please let it end 

And he finally stops 

He heads for the door 

I lay there motionless 

sprawled on the floor 

My name is Sarah 

I am but 3 

Today my daddy 

MURDERED ME

This was written because some parents beat their kid to death. How could a parent had the heart to do that to their own flesh and blood still wonders me to no end. They do not deserve to be parents, perhaps, they don't even deserve to be human.

I leave you all with this heart-wrenching music video by Martina McBride - "Concrete Angel". I cried watching this video. No kid (or any human being) deserves to be treated that way. Hope this will seep into your hearts and make you feel like doing something about it - like what it did to me.
