Nightmares

(Warning : Child Abuse! Some punching and blood and stuff. Just a little heads up.)

The broom in my hand
as I sweep away the dust.
While the other kids go and play
I do chores because I must.

"No dinner until you're finished."
Says my dear old mother.
I sigh and clean up every mess,
Caused by my father and brother.

He throws toys all over the house.
Leaves food everywhere.
But no one seems to care.

They love him more.
He human and I monster.
He older and I younger.
Him perfect and I disaster.

So here I am alone in the dark.
Broom in hand cleaning.
Working endlessly.
As they kept sleeping.

Grabbed from behind,
thrown against a wall.
Brother standing in front of me,
feeling so tall.

He picked me up
and threw me down the stairs.
I could barely stand up
but he didn't care.

I had enough
so I threw a punch.
He cought it and twisted my wrist.
It didn't do much.

He punched me in the nose
until it bleed.
And when Mom and Dad came downstairs,
this is what he said.

"Mommy, Daddy!
She threw me down the stairs!
So I punched her in the face."
The two look at me in distaste.

They yelled and screamed.
They threw a huge fit.
And from behind he beamed.
Why did I always get treated like shit?

Ella woke up in the middle of the night and screamed. Her face was wet with tears as she continued to sob. Suddenly, she realized it was just a dream. "Stupid PTSD..." she thought, "Why can't I just be normal?" James and Adam walked into her room and turned the lights on.

"Hey sweetie, are you ok?" James asked.

"Yeah, just another nightmare. I'm sorry for waking you up again." she whimpered.

"It's alright, the important thing is that you're safe. Do you wanna sleep with us tonight?" Adam asked.

She nodded and held her arms out. Adam picked her up and walked her into her room. James followed and dried her tears. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.

"No. It was nothing important anyway."

(No, I do not have PTSD or have been physically abused. I've been emotionally and verbally abused but not physically. I'm fine, this isn't a vent.

Anyway, I tried poetry with Ella. I'm actually pretty happy with it. I'll probably try this with Adam and James. A Jadam poem. Now that's original! I actually would like to see people make Jadam into a poem..It's kinda hard though but I'll try my best. Maybe next chapter. Anyway see ya! ^^ )
