Abuse
She's coming
I better hide
She trembles her way inside
Drunk I can see
fear runs inside of me
hidden in a small dark closet
where I was not to be caught, aleast I thought
I am found
now I lye on the ground
got beaten so bad from head to toe, it hurts to move, hurts to talk, hurts, to cry
God am I going to die?
4 days untill I move with my dady and everything will be alright,
but instead I lye in a puddle of blood time to say goodnight
cops came and said it's to late
Sh's dead
no more words need to be said
funerals on its way and on my grave it will say "daddy's girl is brave"
people came and cried to day,
but I dont understand why
I am happy and free
they just dont want me to be,
but instead they want me to come back,
back to a mother that I lack,
to sisters that watched as I suffered and didn't care,
and to a father that didn't hurry up and help me out of here,
so I can go through the abuse once more
to wake up to a body in pain,
a body so sore
with cuts and bruises from belts, switches, and all the other things she uses to
make me black and blue
a true mother something that was never you.
