Some one I know
I saw a man beat his daughter
I saw a man beat his wife.
I saw a man abandon his children.
And now he wants to come back to there life.
I watched a girl console her mother.
I watched a child heal her bruises.
I saw a child with no childhood.
I’ve seen a young adult try to make sense of her fears
I know a girl who knew nothing of her father.
I know a girl who tried to find another.
I know a woman who deserves more credit than she’s given.
I know a child who deserves to be loved.
I knew a 12 yr old who wanted to die.
And now he’s mad because she doesn’t want him in her life.
I know a girl who blocked it all out.
Bottled it all in, kept it a secret.
I know a girl who lives with scars.
Across her legs
Across her face
And imbedded in her memory
I know the man who made those scars
And he’s mad because he has no right to be in my life.
