>>>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 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 speak at all
>>> I can't do a wrong
>>> Or else I'm locked up
>>> All the day long.
>>>
>>> When I awake I'm all alone
>>> The house is dark
>>> My folks aren't home.
>>> When my mommy does come
>>> I'll try and be nice,
>>> So maybe I'll get just
>>> 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 and 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
>>> That he suffers at work.
>>>
>>> He slaps me and hits me
>>> And yells at me more,
>>> I finally get free
>>> And I run for 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 unimaginable hate.
>>>
>>> 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
>>> And I am but three,
>>> Tonight my daddy
>>> Murdered me.
