A poem about Child Abuse My name is Lucifer I am three, My eyes are swollen, I cannot see, I must be stupid, I must be bad, What else could have made my daddy so mad? I wish I were better, I wish I weren’t ugly, Then maybe my mommy would still want to hug me. I can’t do a wrong, I can’t speak at all Or else im locked up a ll day long. When I'm awake, I'm all alone The house is dark, my folks aren’t home When my mommy does come home, I'll try and be nice, So maybe ill just get o ne whipping tonight. I just heard a car My daddy is back from Charlie’s bar. I hear him curse my name is called I press myself against the wall I try to hide from his evil eyes I’m so afraid now, I’m starting to cry He finds me weeping, calls me ugly words, He says its my fault he suffers at work. He slaps and hits me, and yells at me more, I finally get free and run to the door He’s already locked it and i start to bawl, He takes me and throws me against the hard wall I fall to the floor with my bones nearly broken, And my daddy continues with more bad words spoken, "I’m sorry!", I scream, but its now much to late His face has been twisted into a unimaginable shape The hurt and the pain again and again O please God, have mercy! O please let it end! And he finally stops, and heads for the door While i lay there motionless, brawled on the floor My name is Lucifer, I am three, Tonight my daddy murdered me Now i roam the underworld, to help those in need. I may seem evil, but i'm not. And if you read this and don’t pass it on I pray for your forgiveness Because you would have to be one heartless person To not be effected by this Poem And because you are effected, Do something about it! So all i ask you to do Is pass this on! IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE Reviews And here's something concerning 'REVIEWS', which I copied from 'Heartless demon wolf'- Writers- all of them, from famous authors to subtle FF writers- ALL depend on the feedback from our readers. Vision Dominican brought up an interesting albeit tragically true idea: "Lack of reviews is the greatest killer of fan fic writers out there. We at the institute wish to let the public know of how they can pitch in to save our dying writers. 1) Drop a review every other chapter. It may not seem like much, but reviews are actually what many of us want to see. That, and hits. Hits do make us happy but we don't really know if people like our story or not. 2) Visit our author page. Those kind of hits really make us happy. It's where we showcase our entourage of friends, beta readers, and stories. Some of us even tidy up with set areas for upcoming story ideas and character bios. 3) Send an email. While normally I'd prefer a review, emails are just as good. Really, it warms my heart to communicate with another reader or writer." What you call being "too lazy to review" is what we call "a flame to the pages" as the writers. That one minute or two that you felt "too lazy" to review is another minute of creeping discouragement that all writers feel as they begin to think... "Why am I even here…?" "What's even the point of continuing?" "My skills must be terrible…no one cares for my story…" "I'll never be a good writer...I quit." These are only a few thoughts that go through every writer's head- that go through MY head- when we put out a chapter / story with all our heart and soul within, and we sit there…and sit…and wait…and not a single person says even a word. If you're not a writer, you have NO IDEA how much that hurts… If you ARE a writer, then I'm sure you know just how great it feels when someone is kind enough to leave a heartwarming and encouraging review, and you read it, smiling while thinking…"Wow…fuck...I did it…" So, why not give fellow writers the same luxury here? Too many times I've seen epic and utterly beautiful works of literary art fall to pieces before finally being abandoned due to the terrible discouragement that the lack of reviews can cause. Sometimes, it is so severe that the very writer himself decides to quit, denying the world his skills of writing that I'm it would have deeply enjoyed. So… Just one minute, that's all it takes. Just a few gentle taps of the fingers on your keyboard, a few seconds or so of your time, and your words can SAVE a writer from a dark demise. Do me a favor: Go find a story, ANY story, anywhere here on Fanfic,net, and see if you can help it. If it has very little / no reviews at all, just check it out, and say whatever comes to mind. And enjoy the thought in mind that you could have just SAVED that story, with just a few taps of the keyboard… If you agree with what I have said then please copy and paste any part of this story you wish onto your profile. Modify it in any way you see fit; there is no need to use my exact words. You make it say what you want it to say.

What is Glory if you stand alone while those beside you are dead and gone? What is Glory when everything you should have fought for is gone." The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for his country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Put this as you're profile if you're against bullying.

A 15 year old girl holds hands with her 1 year old son. People call her a slut. No-one knows she was raped at 13. People call a girl fat. No-one knows she has a serious disease which causes her to be over weight. People call an old man ugly. No-one knows he had a serious injury to his face while fighting for our country in the war.
