Sarah

My name is Sarah and I am five, My Daddy beats me until I am barely alive. I do what he says but that's not enough. He is so strong and tough. It happens almost every night, And I don't know what to do. I stay out of sight, You would too. I must be doing something wrong, Because I'm locked in my room all day long. Nothing to do and no food to eat, I am the only one for Daddy to beat. I wonder if this will ever stop. Maybe I should tell a friend. But what would Daddy do if he ever found out? He would kill me, without a doubt. I will not tell, not one soul, To hurt me is his only goal. What will happen, what is my fate? It doesn't matter now, it's too late.
