[hometext] => April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
[bodytext] => I am nothing, have no real value I am less than the surrounding air I contribute no ideal to anything I do I have no memories or past to share Life endless treading a lonesome path I give no heart to the conscious life I only cause hate and horrid wrath I bring darkness, emptiness, strife This I've been told since my time began Drummed daily into my head and heart Shown time upon time little worth I am Never given a chance from the start Too many children and young adults live With these same feelings and physical abuse They're hurt every second, never any give They've no where to go, so what's the use Living with fear in their abusive homes Nothing they do seems to stop the pain Spending their days feeling unloved, all alone Despair, hopelessness around them rains Time to stand up for these kids, we adults They need us to become their new friends Need to let them know it's not their fault Time for emotional, physical abuse to end Give them moments of love, genuine kindness Wrap them within our arms, build a safety net Create a world of light, shut out the darkness Give them hope for a world we won't regret Help them survive this madness, despair Stop the cycle of hate within their home Side by side, give them dreams to share Let us show them they are never alone [comments] => 3 [counter] => 314 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => Please do not comment on your own work.
