Could you guys rate my poem?

On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate my abuse poem? [NOTE: I AM NOT ABUSED! IT IS JUST THE CHARACTER!]

Dear Diary,

Today he did it once again

My bones are cracked

Bruises cover my skin

But I can’t fight back

I miss mommy

Her loving hugs

Her stories at night

Her unconditional love

He did it again

He called me worthless

I was hit seven times

And I wonder is it worth this?

My tears stain the floor

Blood puddles around

I wish mom was here

So I’d be safe and sound

He did it again

Pushed me down to the floor

Slammed my head to the wall

Threw me against the door

He is doing it now

The door swings open

His threat fills the room

I am already broken

My life was already done

Before it began

He grabs my arm

And twists back my hand

I scream out in pain

A shock fills the air

He screams and pulls me

Up by the hair

I am slapped once

Twice and again

He threatens to kill me

Says I won’t go to heaven

Somebody help me!

I think to myself

Desperately pleading

That is will reach some one else

Dear Diary,

That is all for today

All for forever

Until he changes his way

He found you now

And throws me to the floor

Thankfully stopped

By a knock at the door

Dear Diary,

I thought I was saved

But he ignored the knock

And sent me to the grave

Dear Diary,

I am with my momma now

We are up here looking down

Watching as the people bow

Daddy is in jail

We are all safe from harm

Tonight I will sleep

In my lost mother’s arms

Answer #1

Very intense and sad. I would give it a 7 as a first draft. It needs a bit more work but I’m sure you can work out the kinks :)
