Abuse
(Written by J.Williams-2004)


Get off me!
Get off my back!

Stop this assault!
Stop this attack!

Stop kicking me!
Stop punching me in the face!

Get off me!
Give me some space!

Stop smothering me!
I need some air ...

Why do you hit me?
Don't you care?

Don't you understand?
That it hurts when you strike me with your hand...

Look at me!
You see this bruise!?

This comes from the fist
That you use...

Look at this!
You see this scar!?

This reminds you
That you went too far

Abuse...
I've been thrown against the wall

A hand covers my mouth
That prevents me from making a call

Abuse...
I have a black eye

Someone is choking me
I begin to cry

Abuse...
To mistreat

To strike repeatedly
To beat

To hurt someone verbally and physically
IS abuse...

I'm being precise with this rhyme
And not obtuse

Which is the opposite of precise
Love your neighbor

Act nice
Why do you use such language?

Why did you call me that name?
What did I do?

Why am I the blame?
What did I do for you to treat me this way?

What did I do?
What did I say?

These questions run through my mind
While I'm being abused and mistreated

I'm losing this battle
I'm almost defeated

I can't get away
The attacker won't let me go...



Please recognize abuse
It's something that you need to know.....
