My name is Sarah
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 can`t do a wrong
I can`t 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 & be nice,
So maybe I`ll just get
One whippin tonight.
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's bar.
I hear him curse
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 it`s my fault
He suffers at work.
He slaps & hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
& 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,
& my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken,
"I`m sorry!", I scream
But it`s 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.
My name is Sarah
I am three,
tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
