17: Child Abuse

I wrote this in class when we got given a poem prompt. The task was to write about how a naughty child felt after her teachers gave bad comments about her at parents' evening. This isn't my best work because I had to work with a group of some friends, and I didn't want to disagree with their ideas. But other than that, please enjoy!

You get home and regret your behaviour,
Why didn't the teachers just do you a favour?
I'm embarrassed about all the bad comments.
No wonder my mum thinks that I'm a disappointment.

She threatened me in school,
But in a different language.
It made me feel like a fool,
All this depression that I can't manage.

She beat me today,
On top of my cuts.
I can't handle this day,
I hope my eyes soon shut.

She makes my life a misery,
But can't she see,
There'll soon be a world,
Without me.
