My name is Misty

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 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 to 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 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
That he suffers at work.

He slaps me
and hits me
and yells at me more,
I finally get free
and 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 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 Misty
and i am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered Me.

Favorite if you're against child abuse.
