Hidden Demon

A poem that is dedicated to all those children who have been victims of child abuse...

There was a time when I looked upon you as every child did,

When I thought you would save me from every evil;

To a sacred term called 'FATHER', you were always a hidden devil.

You pretended in front of all to be the best you could be,

But behind the closed doors, you are a demon whom people would never see.

The family was never your concern and children were never your priority;

Don't worry the future is yet to come and you will pay for every inch of your cruelty!

With thrashes on my back and bruises on my face,

I have cried through the nights almost every day.

When I needed you the most, you just walked away;

More than your child, I felt like I was your prey.

It’s a shame for all those who in spite of knowing the truth hid your cruelties;

But it’s completely fine as God is always watching over their dirty mentalities.

It’s my promise that I will never turn into the one you expected me to be,

But I will be potential enough to knock you down by my building's security.

To all those so-called 'MEN' who have a worthless living,

You all will soon regret when the senescence will show you its true meaning.
