Forever Changed
I heard the footsteps coming and I
knew this would be another long
night
And something inside me screamed
this time it really isn’t right
The words he was saying were
ruthless and cruel
And each time he hit me I sat there
and obeyed each and every rule
I sat there blank faced and scared
knowing that I couldn’t cry
For I knew what would happen if he
saw the tears in my eyes
Each and every swing felt worse and
worse
And then all I wanted was to be dead
in a hearse
He got real close and whispered
“***** I wish you weren’t alive”
And all I was thinking was you’re
right, I wish I wouldn’t survive
He threw against the wall then
proceeded to pin me to the ground
He hit me again, covered my mouth,
not letting me make a sound
I started to struggle and tried to
release myself of his forceful grip
Then the next thing I heard was a
loud, horrifying rip
His hands were cold and I cringed at
first touch
I don’t understand how a father
could hate his daughter so much
I froze and I couldn’t believe that this
was really going on
I just kept looking at the clock
wanting him to be gone
I tried so badly not to think of the
sharp pain
And this wasn’t part of his usual
game
I closed my eyes wishing the time
would just pass by
And that next time I opened them I
would be up in the sky
He pushed harder and harder and
excruciating pain was all I felt
The next thing I heard was the
unbuckling of his belt
Something happened inside of me
that I can not explain
I got this surge of energy and said “f
you and your reign”
Somehow, someway I got out just in
time
But what he had already done will
never get out of my mind
From then on my life has been
forever changed
It was like all I knew had been
rearranged
I hate him with everything I have in
me and so much more
And one day I want to end this war
