When i came home, happy and smiling. You gave me the look of death, with rage in your eyes and the look of hate staring at me. You slowly get and walk towards me. The pain in my stomach and fear in my chest came back once again. The hand goes up and I fall to the ground, and tears begin to form in my eyes. The foot goes back and slams into my stomach. Rage is still in your eyes and fear in now in mine. The beatings come one after another. The unloved feeling travels through my mind, as the person who's suppose to is the one doing this. I was taught to fight back, but that makes it go on until you get tired and leave. Deep breaths in and out, as i walk up to my room. Bruises and blood are all over my body and clothes. My shirt is ripped with stains. Tears falling from my marked face, with weakness and hatred in my eyes. How could some one hurt me like that? You were suppose to protect me from pain, not give it to me. But what can i do? This is my life...

Life is so ironic to understand fully, it takes sadness to know what is happiness. noise to distinguish silent and a broken heart to find true love.

Wow, that's pretty good! A few grammar mess-ups, but it was relatively fine :)

Could you check out some of my work? I especially like "The Door" and "Wishes". :) Thanx~
