Deadly Abuse

My father beats me
My mother cuts me
From blood on my arm
To bruises on my knee

I stay locked up in the closet
While my parents are away
It was my father’s demand
I must obey

Suffering everyday
I'm treated me like a slave
Sometimes, I just break and cry
I try my hardest stay brave

I start to hear footsteps, getting louder
The scent of alcohol I start to smell
The closet door violently opens
It’s my mother, beginning to yell

She grabs me by my hair
She gets a sharp blade
She puts it close to my arm
I closed my eyes and prayed

She cuts me deeply
Laughs at sight of my blood
The pain deepens, as warm tears fell from my eyes
She laughs harder, and watches it flood

She saids I'm worthless
And screams at me more
She drags me to my little closet
Hits me, and locks the door

She shouts through the door…
"Wait for your father to come home!"
"He'll beat the shit out of you!"
I shivered, the thought turned my brain numb

I watched the red line my had mother made
It crossed through many, which still haven’t healed
I started to cry, I couldn't stop
But my lips couldn't stay sealed

Time past, as my stomach rumbled
I haven’t eaten weeks
I'm hardly allowed food
So little it makes me dizzy to speak

The closet door opens
The light hurt my eyes
It's my father, he's home
Between his sinister laugh he saids "Suprise"

My heart skipped beats
My mind began to race
I looked at the bruises from before
What a disgrace

He took his anger out on me
He beat me till my bones got sore
He beat me till my skin turned purple
Finally done, I was laid on the floor

God have mercy
For each tear that I cry
The pain eats me alive
And my soul slowly dies
