I'M Sorry Daddy

the door slams shut daddy's home his footsteps are getting closer i hear him yell my name i cry silently, trying not to be found he stumbles through my doorway he is drunk again i press up against my closet wall he walks in front of the door, swings it open starts calling me horrible names and grabs me by the arm i'm afraid i try to avoid looking into his evil eyes he slaps me i fall, crying daddy says it's my fault he got fired today he punches me and kicks me i try to get up but he stomps on my chest "MOMMY HELP!" i scream in my head but no one else is home just me and daddy i get free and run for the door it's locked i slid to the floor bawling because i can' reach daddy picks me up and throws me against fireplace mantel i fall to the wood floor head throbbing body shaking heart pounding in the distance i hear daddy yelling at me i scream 'I'm sorry' it's too late his face has been turned into an unimaginable hate the pain continues his kicks come again and again he stops after one last hard kick that's the last thing i felt he walks out the door as i lay there motionless sprawled out on the living room floor this is something i've never experienced but i wanted to write about it
