Hope He's Afraid Of The Dark Now - [child abuse]

I know this is long, but it's taken me so long to write. It's about child abuse. I tried writing this as good as I could. I know the flow isn't good but look behind what this poem and you'll find a story. This isn't suppose to sound like a story or anything. If you don't like it then don't comment or vote! I worked hard on this. Enjoy!

When it turns dark outside,
She could see the creature moving in the distance,
Afraid to let go of that teddy bear,
Until the sun breaks through for morning,
And her fear would fall away.

But each and every night,
She would hold her covers over her head,
In fear that they will come to her window,
She`d shut her eyes tightly,
She would think about anything else,
But the creature outside her door.

Yet every night,
The creature would quietly open her door,
She could smell the liquor from a few feet away,
She begged and prayed,
Hoping her mother would walk past and help her.

But it`s been years since she`s seen her mom,
Her mom passed away five years ago,
Beaten to death by her daddy,
She watched the whole thing from the corner of the bedroom.

Ever since her mom passed away,
Her daddy always came after her,
Just nine years old,
And lying to authorities,
Saying she fell down the stairs.

Maybe they`ll understand one day,
All the secrets she`s hidden,
Maybe they will finally know,
The fear she`s lived with for all these years.

:: 6 Years Later ::

We finally knew how,
She always had bruises on her body,
And why she refused to go home,
Hoping anyone would take her anywhere but there.

She lived in fear for eleven years,
But we all were dumb enough,
Not to see through the lies and the tears,
Just thought she was always clumsy,
When she`d say, "I fell down the stairs",
Every time we`d ask where the bruises were coming from.

She was only fifteen-years-old,
And had the dreams,
Of going to college,
And making her life better.

Her dad was soon hated,
When she was found dead,
With a letter written,
For anyone who`d care.

` For anyone who cares,
I`m not here anymore,
Hope you catch my dad,
And kill him for what he`s done.

I seem to not care anymore,
I`ve lived for as long as I could,
But being hurt so bad every night,
The pain must end sometime, so I chose now.

Pills will enter my body,
With the alcohol,
Finally had the courage to actually,
Put this gun to my head, and pull the trigger.

I hope he dies in his misery,
For he`s already killed mine,
Hope he afraid of the dark now,
Like I was.

Tell him,
I`ll be visiting his dreams,
Every night,
Slowly killing him like he did to me.`
