Hidden Pain

Beaten and battered again, hiding my fear
Disclosing my possibility of shedding a tear
Hurt by the one whom I undoubtedly love
Even though he smacks me around and shoves
Secretly I endure the beatings from him
Crying alone, each time he bruises or scraps my skin
He mocks me each time I suddenly flinch
Then he grabs my skin with the pain of a pinch
Walking everyday with a black eye or fat lip
Or trying to hide the gash from hip to hip
Trying to hide each and every gash and scrap
And unaware of the future, painful rape
Now years later, it haunts my memory
Because of how much this emotionally scarred me
