No understanding

An angry man
with a cold heart

an innocent child
with so many marks

a fighting mother
just wanting to protect

what the world may see
is just a lot of lies

no one understanding
so things only get worse

no one wants to see
the truth and no one
seems to care at all

years go by and the child gets
even more weak

only seven years old so
she doesn't understand why

her only father and
this is what he does

how could he do this
why would he want that

what makes him this way
why is he so angry
what could she have done
nothing to deserve this

it is such a crime
living her life can only get harder

in the mind of an innocent child
things are replaying just as they
have happened to her

this innocent daughter dying
is only making him stronger

what kind of father
what kind of heart

how could you do this
to such a helpless child
one of your own blood

why are you doing this
when will this stop

*this is kind of confusing, but it's real.*
