She Hits Her Knees!
She runs!
The pain has just begun.
A little girl trapped in something already done.
Why must dad get so mad?
She never meant to be bad.
He’s beaten her to a point of being mute.
She’s a bottomless root.
She’s been placed upon a cross as her dad picks and tosses.
She’s counting her loses.
She’s only ten a young age for where she’s been.
She can’t win.
The hurt is too much when it comes to someone’s touch.
Can she keep running?
She can’t stay,
But maybe he won’t hurt her today.
Now she hits her knees to pray.
