Color My World Hurt

by Maria Mascato

I live in a cold-dark lonely place

a place as dark as the bruise on my face.

There are people around as far as I see

But no one – not one - dare I ask to help me.

My life is one of anger and fear

I’m always afraid when he comes near.

I hold my tears as I silently cry

Knowing soon his fists will fly.

The beatings are hard – so full of hate.

Oh how much more can my body take.

I’ve learned to separate me from myself

It no longer hurts when he uses the belt.

I know there are laws to protect those like me

But leaving’s not easy – please try and see.

My life is colored in black and in blue

Please – oh please – don’t let it happen to you.

Always remember you are worth so much more

Never let anyone push you to the floor.

Stand up and know you are somebody good

And make him treat you just as he should.

The very first time fists come at your face

Run as fast as you can to a place that is safe.

Don’t do as I do – please do as I say

So you won’t be writing these same words one day.
