Where are you from?

July 17, 2012
By Anonymous

She is from that beating
The hand, soon, and belt on her body
That caused pain, and bruises.
Green, purple, yellow

She is from the pain
The sorrow of being broken
That she is not loved.
Shoving, cutting, bleeding

She is from being bullied
Her emotions being private
Closing everybody out, losing trust
Depression, pulling hair, weak bones

She is from thinking it is her fault
Thinking she deserves it.
Talking yelling screaming

She is from not caring
Being hurtful and heart broken
That nobody cares, not knowing where to go.
Fighting, mind games, relationships

Why does it happen?
What should I do?

What I hopw to get out of this piece is the fact that people who are getting abused and bullied think they have no voice in anything and don't know who to trust or where to go for help of any kind.
