DADDY
His fist hits me straight in my face
my missing teeth he cannot replace
The Thrill and enjoyment of beating his child
The look in his eyes animalistic and wild
lights off chasing me through the basement so he could lay me a blow
I had nowhere to hide & nowhere to go
Alone & Afraid I wait in the dark
he will be coming the great Italian shark
All I gotta do is make it to the staircase
run as fast as I can and find a safe place
This poem is about:
Me
My family
