Hi everyone. I didn't make this poem, I just thought it was very good. It was in a book that we were reading in family and childrens class *A Child Called "it"* It was so sad, and so heartwarming. That I just thought I would put it up here. Hope you like. Bye.
I never knew..
I never knew how bad it was;
I heard it did exist.
I was appalled at this crime
That robbed youth
Of their "special" time.
I never knew how bad it hurt;
The bruises and scars aren't seen.
And why somewhere along lifes way,
The brutality of abuse
Has made you pay.
I never knew how you felt;
Your self-esteem so low.
I only knew you crept away,
And never let your feelings show.
I never knew what I could do;
That I could help some how.
That all you needed was a friend,
Someone to be your pal.
But, now I know that I can help;
I can make a difference too.
I'll stand with you; I'll shout with you,
And the rest can't say, "I never knew."
