I came home from school excited about my day. My smile disappears as I see you in the doorway. your once light skin now black and blue. Oh, mommy, what happened to you? I go into my room and put my backpack down. Then daddy comes in wearing a frown. I didn't do anything wrong why are you yelling at me? Oh how I love you that's why I don't flee. i don't understand why you do the things you do but every time you hit mommy your hurting me too. After your done releasing your frustration you leave mommy on the floor crying in desperation. With me tucked in a corner My hands over my ears trying to block out what I've been hearing for years. For the next few years mommy has to stay inside but I'm older now and i no longer want to hide. But it is inevitable I'm afraid of what people might do if they knew the truth. Daddy, I don't want to lose you. But why do i feel like it's too late like I've already lost the battle with fate. I love you Daddy but I've had enough Even though it's hard for me i have to be though. So pack your bags And leave your keys i can't let you hurt us anymore So just leave us, please.
