Through A Lie, Is A Truth

Once I'm through that door
Hell begins, burning at the floor
Father sees, and father hits
I fall to hell, and demon bits
Praying for the numbness, to set me free
Mother walks in, yet it continues to be
Walks right past me, am I really there?
My screams must be silent, this isn't fair!
Mommy please!, I scream and I yell
She just keeps walking, as if I never fell
My sisters get home, and see me in my pain
Walk out on me, my tears, I'm not able to contain
Don't they love me? Do I not share their blood?
Emotions overwhelm me, like a fearful flood
I look up at daddy, once sweet now mean
What did I do, to deserve this scene
Blood pooling around me, I fear for my life
But then again, no more pain, no more strife
To live, to die, someone decide
I know I'll never be the same inside
Daddy picks me up, with his fist in my hair
So much pain, its so very hard to bear
Please God, just make him stop
I'm about to give up, as my rib makes a pop
So much pain, it's getting hard to breathe
Crying for mercy, makes him seethe
I can't believe this is happening, with my mommy nearby
Can't she see he's sick? He's making me cry!
I'm her daughter! Not a stranger!
Why won't she help me? And get me out of danger?
As I cry, my vision starts becoming red,
I guess this is my blood, coming from my head
I can feel it, every punch and every kick
Eliciting a scream, when his wrist makes a flick
After a slap good bye,
and a kick in the thigh
He leaves out the door
But he will be back, back for so much more
As I lay there, my mommy peaks in
A little disappointed, father didn't commit a sin
She walks right by, ignoring me, and I make a sob
Because knowing she doesn't love me, makes my heart throb.
