Face The Facts - Its abuse


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

Sticks and stones they may break my bones
and that is called physical abuse .

Words may never seem to hurt but that is psychological abuse .

What happens to me I ask my self
and the answer becomes quite clear ,

When people become short tempered and angry it fills me full of fear .

I have broken bones and wounds that are bandaged and put into cast

While other wounds that are invisible never seem to heal so fast .

I cannot cope with the suffering ,
I’m emotionally over taxed ,

A victim of mental and physical stress facing up to the facts .
