They Claimed

They claimed to want my life,
Always beating, punching, kicking, and slapping me,
When will this torture ever stop?
Should I call the cop?
The bruises nobody can see,
The sorrow that seers through the body,
The tears that shed,
Sloping like a river,
My life is full of tragedy,
And yet the world can not see,
Now I experienced a life of pain,
A world of torment, dismay, and shame,
I can no longer bear this torture,
Something must be done for sure,
For I was blind by their hidden anger,
Believed that they would love me forever.
