Daddy Please Stop

by A Broken Bleeding Soul   Mar 31, 2005


My dad just walked into our house for the first time in 3 years... he had walked out on us. The last time I saw him was when I tried to commit suicide about a year ago... he visited me at the hospital. Now he's back and so are the beatings and the bruises.

*Please read it through... I'm going through a really tough time... I need everyone's comments... please*

You walked in to my home
Claiming you're not the same
You said "Hello my beautiful daughter"
Sorry dad, but that was lame

I'd really love to think that
You've changed after three years
But I can't even begin to think
Because your fists bring me to tears

What happened daddy?
Why did you lie?
Why did you hit me
And make me cry?

Can't you see daddy
My life is just a mess
There's so much you don't know
And I really can't confess

Why can't you just leave
Just go away forever
Don't worry, you won't be missed
Never come back, never!

Daddy I thought you changed
But you didn't, did you?
Everyday you put me through so much pain
I don't think you have a clue

Do you know your own strength daddy?
Do you know how strong you are?
Just please stop beating me dad
Before you go too far

Every morning I wake up
And my body is sore and aching
Day by day my little heart
Is crumbling and breaking

Just your presence is killing me
You make me want to die
When mom asks about the bruises
I have no choice but to lie

Mom never hears my painful cries
For you beat me while she's in the shower
You beat me so hard that I felt like dying
You beat me with all your power

I hope you see daddy that I can't go on
If you beat me day by day
And if you really just can't change
Then it's best you go away

Please change dad, change into a man
Do it for me, or for mother
We'll give you all of our true love
Forever yours, your daughter

*This is a poem that I wrote to my dad... and I actually gave it to him. It was a mistake because after he read it, he just beat me harder than ever before... someone please just help me run away!*

    This is a very heart felt and sad poem I am sorry your life is like this. I have no real quick answers for you but know you are a strong person inside and even when the darkness surround you and there is no light in sight know that through it all you can shine more powerful then any star. You can survive and you can change things, but you have to have the courage to do it. I could tell you to go to someone you trust go to the police all this you have heard before. So just think about this what ever you do its by your choice and no one can dictate to you what to do. You have to do it for yourself and by yourself. It's a hard reality out there little one, I think you know that already now just ask yourself are you a fighter or just some one to be punched on. Either way my heart and hand is exstended if you need to talk let me know...
