Child Abuse Poems
( 9 Votes )Mirror, mirror, tell me why
my battered heart cannot comply.
What is missing and where is it found?
Truth in which my emotions are bound.
Mirror, mirror, look at me...
who's this looking back at me?
An empty smile, an empty stare,
someone lacking loving care.
Mirror, mirror, please vanish my past...
these fears that I have, why do they last?
A lonely child turned into a lonely adult...
deep in my heart, I know it's my fault.
Mirror, mirror, I'm begging you please...
stop this pain that's deep inside me.
The abuse, it haunts me, it won't fade away...
suffering rages through my heart every day.
Mirror, mirror, watch my tears fall
into this empty existence through which I crawl.
Searching for my ray of light to clear my clouds away...
I close my eyes, fold my hands and begin to pray:
"mirror, mirror, I beg to be free...
help me to heal, help me to see.
Banish my storm clouds, banish my pain,
help me to realize my life wasn't in vain."
Mirror, mirror, as you fall to the floor,
breaking into pieces, I beg you once more...
that as your life ends, mine will begin,
searching for emotions buried within.
Mirror, mirror, now I must go
to search out the world and bask in its glow.
As I clean up the pieces that once used to be,
I silently thank you for setting me free.
