I'll always remember,
When the plaster burned my eyes,
And the shouts rent my ears.

I'll always remember,
The screams in my head,
And the tears on my arm.

When I held,
My little brother,
And hurried him
Underbed.
To run from
The wrath,
Of our parents
Overhead.

I'll always remember,
My dad's fist,
Slamming through the door.

And I'll always remember,
The chips of wood that scorched my cheeks,
Scarring my mind to this day.
An assignment for English Class. Portrait poems, kinda simple.

Fierce! To do that all in such few words is real mastery of the art :D It feels just like thunder, when you read this; it's like everything is unfolding before you, explosive, powerful and really deep in your mind :D really great work. And congrats!
