Daddy,why?

She sits in a dark empty room,
Feeling nothing but sadness and gloom.
All the sudden,she hears the front door slam,
She knows shes in trouble,
She doesnt say a word in fear of getting whipped double.
Her dad charges through the door,
And hits her so hard she falls to the floor.
The only thing she can hear is him scream,
She just wishes this was all a dream.
He hits her again and screams some more,
As shes lying there full of pain on the floor.
Shes thinking hes probably drunk,
And if he is then shes out of luck.
That only means hes gonna be meaner,
The more he drinks,the more he beats her.
Now he kicks her in the side,
And she can do nothing but lie there and cry.
After a few minutes,hes finally gone,
Hes probably off to another bar and will be back before long.
So she only had a little while to act like it's ok and stop crying,
But she doesnt even know why shes trying,
Cus he'll be back before long to once again make her feel like dieing.
She starts to wonder what she ever did to make her dad treat her this way,
She just wshes he'll start loving her and stop beating her one day.
She just wishes she was brave enough to say "Daddy,why?",
But that would only make him madder,
Then he'd once again make her cry.
Now shes lost all her thought as she hears the door slam again,
She can only think "Oh god,its him."
