Child Abuse

I am three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see
I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else could have made
My daddy so mad
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me
I cant do a wrong
I cant speak at all
Or else I'm locked up
All day long
When I'm awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home
when my mommy does come home
I'll try and be nice
so maybe ill just get
One whipping tonight
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
my name is called
I press myself
Against the wall
I try to hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry
He finds me weeping
Calls me ugly words
He says its my fault
He suffers at work
He slaps and hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
And run to the door
He's already locked it
And i start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken
I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into a unimaginable shape
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy
Oh please let it end
And he finally stops
And heads for the door
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor



i have now started blogging again,
for one reason
to show people the hurt in child abuse
this story is shocking
and yer it may not be true,
but think there is always a child
that has been abused.

i don't think there's a hurt that festers more than the one inflicted by someone supposed to raise you...i may be wrong, but those scars last forever, you are so very lucky to have your mum (she didn't tell me to say that) but lots of kids don't have parents they can talk to or trust xo
