Mommy Wake Up!
Mommy wake up!
He’s coming back.
I’m scared of his smack.
I was hiding in the closet.
I mean it!
Mommy don’t leave me alone with him.
He always wins.
Mommy wake up!
I should have protected you,
But I was scared too.
He’s bigger than me
And he always hits me.
Mommy he seemed really mad
And your hurt really bad.
Mommy wake up!
I heard a bang.
Now I’m standing in this bloodstain.
Mommy why won’t you wake up?
Mommy please wake up!
