This is my poem
This is my song
I beat it on my drum
My father beats me everyday
He says it will make me strong
And that someday I will pass my strength
On to my children
Who I will make strong.
But I just hurt,
All the time,
And want to run away
To leave and never return,
That also hurts,
I must find a place
Where no one
Can touch me.
This is my song
I beat it on my drum.
William Roland Rozar is a poet who lives and writes in Eugene, Oregon.
