Child Abuse by JL
DID NOT WRITE!!! this is one is the saddest and most powerful poems I've ever read
My name is Sarah
I am but three
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see
I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?
I wish I were better
I wish I wasn’t ugly
Then maybe my mommy
Would still wanna hug me
I cant speak at all
I cant do a wrong
Or else im locked up
All day long
When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren’t home
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice
so maybe I'll get just
one whipping tonight
Don’t make a sound
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie’s bar
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry
He finding me weeping
He shouts ugly words
He says it my fault
That he suffers at work
He slaps and hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
And run for the door
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken
“I'm sorry!� I scream
but its now much too late
his face has been twisted
into unimaginable hate
the hurt and the pain
again and again
oh please god, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled out on the floor
My name is Sarah
I am but three
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me
once again I DID NOT RITE!
