Katherine Shaw Poems
Time went on, things remained the same
Until Mr. Graham started to play his game
His game seemed strange and he told me not to tell
He relayed this message to the other girls as well
...
Mum and dad always spoiled me rotten
Because my deplorable years were never forgotten
Mum used to buy me expensive things
From designer clothes to solid gold rings
...
I decided to go and tidy my room
Gave it a quick sweep with the broom
I went to throw an old coat away
Oh my word, no bloody way!
...
My attitude changed a lot after that
Personality so dark, so bland and flat
My attitude causing mum and dad to be stressed
So they went on holiday, they thought it was best
...
What was left of my parents was flown back home
Fractures and breaks in almost every bone
The funeral director asked me if I wanted their things
I said I only wanted their gold rings;
...
The funeral was only a day away
I hadn't written down anything to say;
How much I missed my mum and dad
Nothing to say, I was feeling so bad
...
I awoke early on the dreaded morning
Couldn't stop myself from constantly yawning;
I couldn't stop myself from crying
Deep inside I thought I was dying
...
As I stepped into the hall I felt a soft breeze
I started to feel a little more at ease
Maybe my parents were looking down on me?
Letting me know that they could see
...
The next few days were spent packing boxes
Dad's record collection, mum's china foxes
Packing away this and that
I even packed dad's favourite hat
...
Depressed, hungry down to my last few quid
I was crossing the road and heard a skid
There was a car coming towards me
I hadn't been looking so I did not see
...
A girl came over she had long brown hair
She helped me up and sat me in a chair
She said her name was Emma Jean
But I should call her by her pet name Nadine
...
The place of safety was dirty and cold
The building smelt musty, damp and old
Place of safety in which I was to roam
Was in fact a children's home
...
Katherine Shaw Biography
I don’t consider myself to be a fancy writer. In that, I am not one for flowery words and phrases, long unpronounceable words that will have you scouring a dictionary to find its meaning. I write in a somewhat simple style, that flows of your tongue with ease. In a way I write how I speak. I have no formal qualifications, no College or University degree, I have taught myself to write in this fluent and ambitious way. I am very proud of my work as I feel I cover many aspects of today's society that are simply... brushed under the carpet! I remember as a child being told ”We don’t talk about this and we don’t talk about that.” In today's multicultural world that we live in, I believe that it is important to talk about the things out there that are happening and is real to many people. The world can be a cruel place to be at times. Maybe if we had all talked about the forbidden, then things would not be so.)
The Best Poem Of Katherine Shaw
Chapter 6. Graham.
Time went on, things remained the same
Until Mr. Graham started to play his game
His game seemed strange and he told me not to tell
He relayed this message to the other girls as well
The things he did still affect me to this day
Those terrible memories will never go away
He used to play hide and seek
And at his man bits he made me peek
Not only did I have to look, I had to touch as well
He said it was our secret and I must never tell
He told me 'I love you' and that I was his first
If I didn't do as I was told, he cussed and cursed
He always shut the door so that no one could see
Then he started to sexually abuse me
I never made a sound, I never said a word
I was petrified in case anyone heard
The pain was horrendous, I would almost pass out
But I knew I couldn't scream or shout
I used to have trouble sleeping at night
Curled up into foetal position arched and tight
In my dreams, the beast would often appear
When I opened my eyes he would disappear
I would mentally fight to keep my eyes open
My sleep pattern ruined and completely broken
No one to talk to, no one to tell
The abuse and lack of sleep made me unwell
I thought he would forever abuse me
And that it would carry on for eternity
