Broken Home

she came from a broken home where the parents at each other would throw stones. every day they would argue, bicker and fight, all the way till the night. not realizing their Childs plight. the child to them in turn would scream but in the battle she was not seen. from her father she had sexual abuse fighting with him, was of no use. he forced himself upon her at a very young age from there on, her life would never be the same. living in fear of what he would do and who she could turn to. where could she go the judicial system moves very slow. when she had told her mother. her mother said it could never be why would he go with you when he has me? she knew then, that she would have to leave and with her being gone, no one would grieve. she would pack her bags, with everything she owned, and on the road she would go. with tears in her eyes, she walked out the door, to return never more. and as she got to the swinging gate her mother screamed to her but it was too late. on her dresser bureau, her mother found this note. you gave birth to me, and brought me into this world, and you had always said that I was your little girl. but when I told you what had happened to me you laughed and turned your back on me. so now I am leaving, because I can not continue this abuse, don't look for me, it will be of no use. I love you mom, or you are my mother just watch out for my little brother. I am a child from a broken home and I know that I’m not alone.
