Would You Want To Stay

Would you want to stay?
The secret's that surrounds this house
The Beating's that took place
The lies I was told to say
will never go away.
Would you want to stay?

If only you knew, the horror
that I endured, every single day.
If you took up the carpet 
you would see all the blood stains
left by me.
Would you want to stay?
 
Take down the wall paper
an you can see the blood stain prints
If go to the room where daddy did things
to me you'll see, my claw marks
in beaded in the grain of wood beneath 
this piece.
Would you want to stay?

Look in the basement, did you find the bolt
where I was chained too.
This home holds many horrors 
lots of pain an memories 
that will never go away.
Would you still want to stay....

I wouldn't want to stay. Very sad write here. The atrocity people do to their children is unfathomable. Like you, I lived a life with broken nose and broken face and broken body and spirit. Never allowed to go to the doctor after the bloody beatings. I had to have surgery in the last 10 years to my face to try to repair a cheek opened to the bone by my father. My cheek was sagging from not being repaired as a child. I'm so sorry you were chained like an animal. I am here for you sister dear. a7
