Look at me now

THIS POEM  IS CALLED LOOK AT ME NOW

When you bounded my  hands i could not understand and you kicked in my head and i thought i was dead---
look at me now 

When you gowedged out my eye, when i started to cry who you would not let speak and you said i was weak.
 look at me now. 

Who when you gave me no food and you said i was rude and you slapped and you beat and you treat me like meat
 Look at me now

Who you batterd and you brused yes its  me you abused who you that you gave a black eye and you told me to lie 
 Look at me now 

When you stole all my money and you then call me honey  who you kicked to the floor and you called me a hoare
 look at me now 

Who you mocked and you teased put me outside so id freeze cut off all of my hair in the mirror i stare
 look at be now

Cut off all of my family all of my friends  needed you to depend  cos you  said they were all wrong, i was not very strong ,me you threw the to the floor i could take it no more, found the courage to run and ran out the door
 Look at me now

I am strong im not weak i will stand up and speak no more beatings from you no more hiding my pain and not feeling ashamed i will tell all the victims to get up and run do not wait for that person to pick up a gun you must scream out and shout out confied in some one consequences  you will pay for what you have done 

LOOK at me now, im right here today and have plenty to say cos I got away look at me NOW.
