I am but Three

My name is Lily
I am but three
My eyes are swollon
I cannot see
I must be so stupid
I must be really bad
What else could have made
My daddy so mad
I wish i were better
I wish i werent ugly
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me
I cant speak at all
I cant do wrong
Or else im locked up
All day long
When i wake im all alone
The house is dark
My folks arent home
When my mommy does come
Ill try to be nice
So maybe ill get just
One beating tonight
o no Dont make sound
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From charlies bar
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the cold wall
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
Im so afraid
Im starting to cry
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words
He says its my fault
He struggles at work
He slaps me
and then hits me more
I finally get free
And i ran for the door
Hes already locked it
And i start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken
And my daddy continues
With more ugly words spoken
'Im sorry', i scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please god,have mercy!
Oh please let it end !
And he finally stops
And heads for the door
While i lay there
Motionless
Sprawled on the floor......

My name is Lily
I am but three
Tonight my daddy
murdered me.
