Not A Rap
This is not a rap
It's not a rap
Yeah, you wanna rap
I know you wanna rap
Rap me on the head
With something you got
Lying in your toolshed
You treat me like
I'm some old hag
Then you try to use me
For a punching bag
You're the worse man
That I ever had
You wanna rap
You dirty rat
This is not a rap
We, no we don't rap
you wanna hit me
With a baseball bat
but you can't
I'm tired of your rants
You can't talk to me like that
You dirty rat
How about that
This is not a rap
You think you
Got me trapped
But it's not like that
I'm getting out
Running fast as I can
When you say
You wanna rap
It's never like that
you wanna rant
And I can't take that
You won't see me again
I'm getting out
I'm gonna shout
I'm getting out
Tired of your crap
It's not a rap
Yeah, you wanna rap

Author's Note
This did not happen to me but there was domestic violence in my house when I was young. My Mother's suffering at the hands of my Father's abuse was almost a life time sentence. Although she was able to get away she kept going back with him again and again.
Please note that rap in this poem is old school for talk except when used to mean hit.

A very powerful and insightful piece raw and uncut emotions and feelings very relateable for me in so many ways I grew up in watching the madness and insanity of hurt and pain and suffering at the hands of another man not my father with his abuse physically and mentally and emotionally and spiritually so yeah I know first hand experience of abuse for some it's hard to escape from the reality of the truth respect dear poetess

I wasn't sure how well this one would go over but it had to be written. Domestic violence is never ok. I'm so sorry that you had to witness it first hand as did I too. I vowed I would never let a man do to me what was done to my Mother. I recently found out that my father's father was a wife beater too. How sad it is to see history repeat itself.
As always, I am very appreciative of your comments and support.
