What did I do
Slapped in the face punched in the head beatings with a belt then sent to bed
No blanket for the bed a lock for the door just a mattress on a cold floor
No light in the room in darkness I’d lie holding my breath trying not to cry.
A sound from outside someone’s opening the door please come and save me
I can’t take anymore
But I’m out of luck my heart starts to melt here he comes again with that thick leather belt.
Roll in a ball trying not to get hurt being treated like an animal and treated like
Dirt
With bones snapped and broken with nothing to drink and no food to eat
My mind is dead with the thought of defeat.
Please let someone hear my screams and kick down the door to free me from this life because I don’t want to live anymore.
WHAT DID I DO?
