Mark's Poem Archive - 4. The cubby hole

The Cubby Hole

It’s cold and dark; I’m wracked with pain,

Just asked for a hug and beaten again,

It’s a sin she screamed, you dirty lad,

You’re ugly, you’re a slug, you’re evil! Bad!

 

Through one eye I searched the floor,

For the raggy blanket I always wore,

It must be true the bible said,

If I’m all those things, I should be dead!

 

Why did she hate me? Why was she mad?

Was it all because I looked like my dad?

He raped her, and left, leaving nothing behind,

But a broken woman who went out of her mind!

 

It was my entire fault, I was her sin,

All I remembered was the pain I was in,

My face was a mess, all swollen and red,

From the fists she’d rained over face and head!

 

That time has now passed, and I am a man,

To get through each day the best way I can,

I try so hard to overcome my past,

But the moments are fleeting and quickly pass!

 

I must carry on, or the battle is lost,

The loss of a life is such a cost,

I must carry on I have a debt to repay,

To Luke, and to Sue and my friends on GA.
