Little girl

by brianna   Jul 10, 2007


A little girl lies
and they wont hear her cries
she'll fade away with pain
with no self-gain
she smiles to hide
with no subside
and she asks god why:
why does mommy get so mad
right after she is hit by dad
and why does daddy hurt me too
why are my arms black and blue
why do I bleed
when he has me on my knees
and why does he not love me
I feel like a disease
and why is the sky blue

a little girl lies
still none hear her cries
she lost her will to care
now you stop to stare
mom died this morning
outside it was pouring
and the little girl wonders why:
why do mom and dad fight all through the night
and why cant they figure it out
this is a broken house
I cried when dad shoved mommy down
all I could do was frown
her love set me free
how deep is the sea

the little girl doesnt lie
they all saw her cry
the day her daddy went mad
she felt bad
dads gone now
mommy is too
now it doesnt matter why the sky is blue
its green to me
like the disease
that haunted her home
she'll never be free

    The best part of this was the way you captured the innocense of this child in the last line of each stanza and continued to return your readers to that.

    Wow, that was a very strong poem with strong emotion. Very well done, it gets my vote, for sure. :( it's sad, though.
