when i was 10
turmoil at home
seemingly unloved
my parents gone
no food on the stove
always fighting
nothing right
arguing...
i was hit that night
unwilling to take it
i swung back
landing the punches
with a loud, distant crack
shoved hard
through the door i went
down the stairs i was pushed
ending up on my back
next thing i know
i slowly wake up
blood on my face
the pain as my head throbbed
unable to get up
i yelled out in pain
no one answered..
my yell was in vain
i gathered my senses
and slowly got up
time to bandage, and cover up my cuts
trying to hide
what happened that night
knowing that when i returned home
i would return in fright
