***AUTHOR'S NOTE: If you are the sensitive kind, or if you get offended easily, or are not able to read topics that are extremely emotional and hard to take in, DO NOT READ THIS POEM!!! I do not sugar-coat anything, I won't apologize for whatever poem my heart decides to spit out.*** Dear Jesus I know it’s been a while The last time we talked I guess I was crying But not tonight you see Tonight I’m asking you to hear me... Dear Jesus Please let daddy be too drunk Please let him pass out on the couch ‘til we see the sun I hate it when he comes around My bed still reeks of his funk Just like that night When he fell asleep on top of me And the mattress sunk I had to hold my breath It was like I had sex with a skunk... Dear Jesus Please wake momma up She’s been sitting at the kitchen table for days now With her marked wrists and her head down I wonder if her white friends did it They always knock her down I tried moving her but her body hung I wonder if she’s well She’s starting to smell Daddy doesn’t know Every time I ask him I end up with a broken nose No daddy doesn’t know He knows how to unbuckle his belt And tell me to... Blow job? Is that what it’s called?... Dear Jesus Who’s this knocking at my door? I guess he’s coming back for more But I refuse to cry like before I only have one last prayer to go Before I open up this door... Dear Jesus If sleep ever comes to me tonight Please don’t ever let me wake
