A Sad Story

My name is Anna Marie
I am thirteen years old
This is my miserable story
A sad story untold

I was only 5 years old
My mom and dad passed away
I was left a desperate orphan
Desperate for parents to come my way

No one wanted to take me home
I never caught anyone`s eye
Until the day he saw me
To America we would fly

I reached my new home in Texas
I could`nt wait to meet my mom
But my excitement was left unsatisfied
Here on, my happiness was gone

I was forced to work like a slave
He would beat me time to time
I could`nt help but cry my eyes out
This life HAD to be mine

Four years passed by
I had finally become ten years of age
This was a whole new level
He would beat me harder with rage

I was left bruised all over
Yet i never said a word
and i still longed for the moment
Where my voice could be heard

Three years flew by
The beatings grew worse and worse
I had never stood up for myself
My life felt like a curse

Although i had no parents
No one to be my protectors
I still longed for any kind of love
Not harmful needle injectors

He injected needles inside my skin
but I would never scream for him to stop
I would just lay in my room crying
Until one day he hit the top

He pulled me by the hair
I cried in pain as i dragged along
He dug a whole and buried me
Now i am finally gone

My spirit was born as my body died
I watched over him
He started to cry

I knew deep inside
He felt what i felt
Although he had problems
Before my grave, he knelt

I`m sorry he said
I`m such a bad person
Deep inside
Even I started to curse him

I looked at him carefully
and gained a sense of pity
Yet i watched him quietly
watched him feel s h i t y

I knew he was mental
He would hurt me in his seizers
And i forgave him regardlessly
Not every parent is a child pleaser

He got up slowly and walked away
But there was one thing
i longed for him to say

I love you i said
as he walked toward home
He suddenly stopped
and tears started to form

I love you daddy
i continued to cry
Even though you hurt me
My love for you is still alive

Even though i had no parents
I saw everything in you
Although you abused me
I still felt love for you

I think he heard me
Because i could`ve sworn
I heard him reply
I love you more

This is my miserable story
A sad story i have just told
