Jiminy Cricket

I hurt as I feel your anger I cringe as I feel your wrath I am not strong enough to stop you As you travel this dangerous path. I speak to you every day Yet you constantly ignore me. Your evil reaches great heights As the good disappears before me. I scream out your name As your hand makes contact And I'm completely helpless In my attempts to distract You, trying to save you from yourself But you're not listening As your hateful attacks make you sweat And has your forehead glistening. If I had a heart, It would go out to her As your rapid punches Look like frightening blurs. Aren't you hurting? Can you not see her pain? This is unbelievable As I watch you with disdain. I'm feeling guilty now Because I did nothing at all. I was too weak to prevent you From beating your child.
