My Dad

My dad I fear. 
When he appears
I get scared.
I thought he cared.
But I was wrong
He was gone long
He came back
My mom he smack. 
I was sick of it all
hearing the yelling through the walls.
Now he's gone again
All the pain is gone also.
Will he come back? 
Will he hit my mom again? 
Will he drag me again? 
I'm scared.
