I sit in the corner
and pray for my life.
My daddy comes home
with his new wife.
She isn't my mother
but she thinks that she is.
She hits me and smacks me
my mommy I miss.
I try and tell him
but she denies the whole thing.
I show him the cuts and bruises
I got from her sting.
She told him I fell
that I have an imaginative mind.
He actually thinks
that this woman is kind.
I'm seven years old
and I want to die.
Her hands are now around my neck
as I begin to cry.
This woman is crazy
she's sick in the head.
And when daddy believes me
too late I'll be dead.
