A Better Family
I wish I had a new family
That loved me all the way
That asked me how my day was
And tells me it ok
To feel strong and beautiful
To let nothing pull me down
But im small and helpless
And dad leaves me on the ground
Shattered ribs
And bleeding lips
Never did me good
For when I go to school
I never feel to good
I want to tell the teacher
I want to tell them now
I want to be safe forever
But forever is not long enough.
He will always try to find me
To drag me by the hair
To find a way to torture me
And strap me to the chair
But I will soon be big and strong
And he will never touch me again
And I will make shore
He never lives again
