Note: This is a sequel to the previous poem "Idiot" with the imagination of what if.................. Angel I have awoken from my nightmares I have grown up from my screams The years have been kind to me Except the first few of terrorizing fear I am a big girl now Why I shall soon be fourteen The boys chase me for that magical kiss They have no idea how they all miss For I have had only one love He is the only one buried deep within my heart It’s him I must have And have him I will The prison doors will open He will walk right into my arms My letters show him my pure devotion He smiles knowing I am there, his potion He was away for ten years For family issues he doesn’t like to say I will take care of you daddy Each and every day In the half way house, I fix his first dinner A pill you see will make him somewhat dimmer Off to slumber he falls Soon he will wish hell was his first call Awake now daddy? How does it feel? Tied up tight, must feel bloody good, right? Don’t worry daddy, I am sure to bite Now daddy used to have fingers He even used to have toes Now he has no manners He throws up as I go I toss his eyeball against the wall Like marbles, such games are fun even when we tall His other eye seems not to believe His daughter in his footsteps weaves So he misses a tooth or two With no feet he needs no shoes His legs are soaked in his bloody pain Yet I must discipline him, at his own game I am such an angel at my high school dance The inside of me I don’t show, there is no chance Let them see my angelic eyes My daddy sees my pleasures has he cries I read the bible when I was nine Eye for an eye, now that’s so fine The molester is being punished for his crime I am may be fourteen, but I drink the punishers’ wine My daddy hasn’t much breath in his lung Why soon his story will be the last sung He paid in full his debt to me I made sure of that, the devil did see The world is one happy merry go round Think twice if you wish to screw This four year old child shall return it to you For flesh and blood, I shall collect every pound Bye bye daddy

Hello Arthur, Congratulations on POTD!! This one is an extraordinary write. I literally absorbed every verse and nuance. (Looks like I must read "Idiot" which I missed, but will read.) The revenge theme is quite powerful and emotive for sure. Your final stanza and the final verse pull it all together Arthur. The picture images you posted blend perfectly into the theme of this superb fantasy write. SEVEN + FAV!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Thank you Robert! much appreciated!

I never expected this turn of events. I guess many who are abused take revenge and become abusers as well. This is a very chilling tale. Oh...when a child's innocence is tampered with...what evil follows. Congrats on POTD.

Thanks Eileen, what you say is so true and I hope that poor girl gets all the help she needs, this was pure fiction and I would never wish this on anyone of course! hugs!!

Wow! An incredible write...especially after I went and read your poem, "Idiot". And, I understand the "revenge is sweet" thing but I sincerely hope the little girl on which "Idiot" was based will allow God to do it for her rather than damage her own psyche more. Great poem though.

I hope so too, this was pure fiction! Thanks!

Thanks Broken Wings, in a way was fun to do this fantasy, as the first one was actually painful and hurt to write it!

Congratulations on POTD Arthur :-) Most deserving of this honour. I see by the comments how moved people are by this piece and "idiot". I applaud you for all the research you did to compose this horrific story. Could not have been easy...you put your heart into it...it really shows :-) blessings, lynn

Thanks, this one was entertainment as the other was a real issue, but I think both serve for discussion! You are very kind, thank you

Hi Arthur, congratulations on your Poem Of The Day, well deseved for this deep, dark, horror write. Excellent content for your theme. Revenge can be so sweet. Time for a slow, revenge, blood fest write. After reading the first poem i had to drop by and read this one. I was not disappointed in it at all. I like my little piece of deep and dark. It does fit in with the first. There are many ways the child could go and this is but one. This is a seven my friend....Mike. A dark angel..Excellent

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/23/2016 11:37:00 PM

Thanks Mike, pure fantasy of course, I would wish for a better outcome, but sometimes I think even in dark writes we can bring things to light to make sure they dont happen in real life! :)

wow, crazy powerful, revenge filled...you are the master of these kind of writes.

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/23/2016 11:35:00 PM

why thank you, you said master, yes? :)

I think this girl could have gone anyway after such horror in her young life depending on how the system treated her thereafter. I guess, for me, your poem plays on the horror aspect as reading your previous comments and seeks revenge in a similar manner to that done to her. But for me ultimate revenge is the complete opposite and that she becomes a good kind soul, forgetting them and the pain, they took enough of her already why give them more! Still a great write tho!

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/23/2016 11:34:00 PM

Oh Laura, I agree wholeheartedly with you, this was fantasy, and as such was to engage some who might not have been engaged with a serious issue, however the true message is the one you have explained here! Thank you!

Many congrats on POTD Arthur:-) I would urge people to also read 'Idiot' - a most incredibly moving poem:-( hugs Jan xx

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/23/2016 11:32:00 PM

Thank you Jan, even this has the fantasy and the "action" so to speak, the first one is the real message! I am so happy to see this was not lost! You are kind for pointing this out.

Jan Allison

Such chilling imagery Arthur but revenge is sweet - am so glad I don't watch horror movies as this would totally freak me out!:-) hugs Jan xx

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/23/2016 11:31:00 PM

Yes is not for all, even I dont watch, its only the idea was so tempting, and it was a way to reach some people on a more serious message! Thank you! Hugs

Interesting - do you know the song with the lyrics "the angels listened in when they heard me praying ...." Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Hi Mathew, no I do not, I tried to search you tube, feel free to post a link, I would love to listen. Thank you

arthur , such an intense, gruesome work probably done with your own kind of poetic ' redemption..'..huggs

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/21/2016 11:13:00 AM

Thanks Nette, was based on horror movies scripts, however in all seriousness, I hope now that poor child receives all the love and care every single child on this planet deserves. It broke my heart when I read of the story. Hugs

arthur, I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but this little girl I am sure would be above something like this, lowering herself to her perpetrator's disgusting level. She would have become a worse monster than he. I choose to hope that she ended up loving high school and had sweet date for prom night!

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/21/2016 11:11:00 AM

Oh I am sure too Andrea, this was inspired by horror movies such as Carrie, and only meant in fun, even the topic may is sad and horrendous. Hugs

Andrea Dietrich

Date: 8/21/2016 9:38:00 AM

It's like the movie Carrie. I got my worst nightmare from that movie!!

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/21/2016 11:09:00 AM

That was the idea, even in fantasy, I think is a little part of us that would like to see poetic justice dished out. However, this was simply entertainment and fun, same as a horror movie! Hugs

Lynn Marie

This reads like a terrorizing movie script..The details astounding..The story quality is extremely vivid. I am a huge believer of karma... A favourite saying is..."how I treat others is my Karma..how others treat me is theirs". I am still reeling from "idiot" and I very much appreciate and admire your skill in crafting both stories. I could easily see this as a trilogy..so expansive is your skill and emotional impact in this genre. blessings, lynn

Lynn Marie

...and you succeeded in "freaking me out"..lol "idiot"will never leave me, which is your point, raise awareness you did, I see by the comments. my wish for her and every child is to heal with love and kindness, live a life on her terms ...full of joy :-)..happy sunday Arthur!

Arthur Vaso
Date: 8/21/2016 11:08:00 AM

Thanks Lynn, I wrote this along those lines, thinking of the typical teenage horror movie type films!

I just read "Idiot" I still have tears, I think a part of us wishes the sweet revenge. xoxoxoxox peace and love

Thank you, that was the message, we all have these feelings, even of course we should not act on them!!! Thanks!
