Scars - The things we bare - 1. Scars - The Things We Bare

A single poem about the abuse a child faces. The poem is a series of Haikus.

The boy cowers in
his skin as the belt sings in
the air above. Smack!

Red welts appear on
snowy white skin. The pain is
blazing and sharp. Tears.

The words echo in
his head forever. Stupid,
useless, lazy, boy.

A boy grows to be
a man. Some things are never
forgotten. Mental scars.

Comments are always welcomed on any of my work. I will do the best to answer them all. Wondering if it might be easier to simply create a book called Poetry and then just add these poems to it as I finish or find them among my papers.

I'm not good at reviewing in particular, especially not on poetry, but you had me just logging in again because of these poems here. I'm swallowing now, it's hard to express, but I read, this put it into signs in my mind and I see the faces of so many of the people I tutored, so many friends lost (a few of them because they only saw "one way") and also my brother and me. My, thank you (even if it sounds weird to say.)

Elisabeth, My poetry is usually a bit on the dark side and deals with things that aren't always pleasant. This is just really about the power of words and the scars they leave. I know what it is like to have to face it and scars you can carry if you survive, but that is the main thing, surviving.
