Please Don'T Hit Me Again

I'm begging you, please don't hit me again. I'm not able to defend myself, I'm only ten. Please don't hit me again, it hurts both physically and emotionally. I don't deserve to be hit and if you were in my shoes, you'd agree. My emotional scars can never be removed because of what you've done. You've been a terrible father but I haven't been a terrible son. Please don't hit me again, your blows bruise my body and make me bleed. Being taken out of this house and put in a foster home is exactly what I need. (Even though this is a fictional poem, many children are victims of child abuse. If you see a child being abused, please do what you can to stop it.)
