Anita Harris Poet Epic

I Sneak Away From My Past

I sneak away from the past
looking through a mirrored glass
What you see you can't believe
that this life is of me.
Raped an burned cut an sliced
by daddy big ole knife.

I sneak away from the past
looking through a mirrored glass
The things You made me do
an the things you did to me
would make you cry you see.

A child so young an afraid
black an blue maybe grey
she never has anything to say.
Broken bones every now an then
as Mommy sets there an just grins.

I sneak away from the past 
looking through a mirrored glass
I pretend every things ok
As daddy looks this way
an tells me just what to say.

I sneak away from the past 
while looking through that 
mirrored glass as my time here
has almost past.

I leave this world far behind
as mommy an daddy's world 
will shine.
Locked away for ever in a day
This is where they'll always stay.
