Why Did My Dad Kill Me!

About a girl called Sarah who was murdered by her dad!
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 cant speak at all
I can't do wrong,
or else I'm locked up
all day long,
When I awake I am alone,
The house is dark,
My folks aren’t home,
When my mommy does come,
I will try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
one whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!
I 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 bad words,
He says it’s 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 spoke,
"I'm sorry!", I scream!

But its now much to 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,
and tonight my daddy
murdered me.
