Natashya Hancox - Child Abuse

My name is Sarah
I am but three
My eyes are Swollen
I cannot see

I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else could've made
Daddy so mad

I wish i were better
I wish i weren't ugly
Then maybe my mummy
Would still want to hug me

I can't speak at all
I can't do a wrong
Or else i get locked up
All the day long

When i awake
I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home

When my mummy does come
I'll try and be nice
Then maybe i'll just get
One whipping tonight

Don't make a sound
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's bar

I hear him curse
My name he calls
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
He shouts ugly words
He says its my fault
He suffers at work

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
And run to the door

He's already locked it
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 much to late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate

The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please god have mercy!
Please let it end

And he finally stops
And heads to the door
While i lie there motionless
Sprawled on the floor

My name is Sarah
I am but three
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
