Little Bird Abused
November 7th 2008 03:02
This is a poem about a little boy being abused
by his stepfather.It is a sad, but true account.
The little boy is my son, he was15 years old at the time.
I was in a terrible state of depression,
but I could still see the pain on my sons face.
A pain he should have never known.
It was mental abuse, but abuse, of any form, is still abuse.
Anyway he could not live with his real father because of legal matters.
So, he moved in with a family friend. He graduated
and is going to be a dad himself.
I know, I made the right choice, and he understands my illness.
And most important, we love each other more every day.
Little Bird Abused
Little bird,
I failed to shelter you
from the beast within our nest.
And so my heart grows weary
from the tears, as your wings
you've spread to test.
You did not waver
all the while,
your destiny uncertain.
Perched on a limb,
you brushed your beak,
across my cheek and flew away.
