I Wish That It Was

Mommy and Daddy are at it again
Daddy's yelling at Mommy 
Calling her a **** then hitting her
I keep wishing and wishing 
For the loud noises to stop
I cry and I pray
Why do they fight
it's scary
I wish it would stop
I try to think of happy thoughts
I want to go to a place
With no yelling or fighting
I keep crying as if the world going to end
Mommy came to my room
Her cheek was red
Her hand had blood on it
Mommy started to cry while she hugged me
Mommy told me what Daddy did to her
Then Mommy told me she killed Daddy
The police came
They took Mommy away from me
I cried and yelled and screamed
Mommy smiled and said it's for the best
I just wish that it was

Thank you for sharing. I wish you luck in your journey through the darkest recesses of the human mind. It's not pretty. I wish I can tell you what awaits you when you work through the nightmares but I haven't yet either. I know you'll be a happier person though. That's a given.
