My Poem...

[sumiunicoamor]

I am alone,
here in my room.
My folks left me.
That's what is expected to be.

I hear the noise,
my father is drunk and he is mad...
I dare never call him dad.

My only fear,
it comes from him drinking beer.
I only wish he would stop,
so I don't have to call the cops.

That is the least of my worries,
for he is on his way.
He is coming to get me,
and here I lay...

I hear him curse.
My name he calls.
I push my self against the wall,
for all I know this could be the worst.

Once again I hear him call,
just as he is coming down the hall...
He bangs down the door, which I had locked,
because this is what happened to the girl they wanted.

Here I am being bruised and beaten.
Stripped of my clothes...
Being hit and thrown up against my bed,
only to have found out he wants me dead...

I feel the pain again and again,
oh dear God please just let this end.
Oh I pray over and over,
that maybe you could let my poor heart mend.

It's over now...
I lay hear crying.
Trying to overcome the pain,
only feeling as though I have nothing to gain.

I have to do good I mustn't do wrong,
for if I do tomorrow I will be locked up all day long...

My mother yells...she sounds drunk.
She has brought home to my dad bad news...
The neighbors called in,
they heard the screams...

Here I am being bruised and beaten.
Stripped of my clothes...
Being hit and thrown up against my bed,
only now the police found me dead...

Sad to think that this is actually what happens to people...
