Yell and yell for all you want,
Ba***rd, you’re going to he**,

Beat and beat on my face from my head to my feet,
One day you will see what I can really be,

Lock me up and cut me down,
Make it so it just hurts to move or even turn around,

So I can not run, nor can I hide,
From the monster that you kept inside.

Nothing matters more than those who depend on you, emotionally or physically. Even if the situation is life or death, you have to be there for them, because they need you.

The poem is amazing, it really sums up how some people feel about their abusive parents.

I know people who have been abused and it strikes a chord with me... :) Good poem.
