Daddy you say I'm your sweet little angel
But daddy why are you hurting me so?
Am I no longer your sweet little angel anymore?
Why are you hitting me so?
Please daddy I don't want to hear sweet little angle again
Every time when you hurt me
All I got for return is 'you are daddy's sweet little angel. You won't tell anyone right?'
Daddy I'm scare I'm scare of you
My teachers and neighbors start to question where I got my bruises
I told them a lie
I say I fall down from the stair or I got into a fight with someone
I know I can't tell lies
I know I'm suppose to be good little angel like you say
Angel don't lie but I do
Daddy I'm scare I'm scare of you
As times goes by some people believe my lies
Others question about it but I never tell
Because I am daddy sweet little angel, I won't tell.
But one day you come home drunk
You scream at mommy and you look at me
Grab my arm as hard as you can and say
'You are daddy sweet little angel'
Daddy I am you sweet little angel
Yes, I am
But sweet little angel has its limit too
Daddy my limit is up
"He" is calling for me
I'm no longer your sweet little angel
I sorry daddy
Sweet angel is no longer here

yes, the ending is sad and happy at the same time. at least she doesn't have to deal with such abuse anymore. Man, such a hard thing to read about!
-
Thanks for the wonderful entry to the contest. Good luck! Debi

This is very heartbreaking, when I read writes like this I automatically think of My Beautiful Daughter and that I couldn't exist without Her in My life, how could Anyone abuse a Child? it's sick, and it'a animalistic...Josephine
-
Brought a lil tear to muh eyes as i know this is happening out there is this world we live in ....Sighs hopes it makes people think to listen to those lil angels

Wonderfully Done
Yet another wonderful piece ive seen in this contest, such a moving write youve done here, very heartfelt and easily sympathised with. IT really sucks that this happens to people, its ruined so many lives. You did a wonderful job putting it down for us all to read, and feel. Thanks for the chance to read it, keep up the excellent writeing, look forward to more from you. -
very heartfelt, with lots of emotion expressed on a deeply distressing topic.
thanks for sharing this. ~tryst -
I wish crap like that didn't happen in this world. Parents should never abuse their children. It is sickening that so many little ones are hurt by their own family.

good
I havr to say this I feel is very sad. I do agree that you should work a little more on the flow but the repititions are great. Meaningful.Nice piece of work. -
heartbreaking
That is so sad. I enjoyed the way you wrote it though. Nice work. -
This so sucks and tho' i know it happens, i never want to admit it!!!! Its a scary thought to think about and i feel for these poor children that have to go throught this...
Its sad what these children have to go through and you really put into words what they would be thinking and feeling... It is a sad situation but you did a great job discribing it!

eek this is dark! emotive and tormenting i must say...um....well written though yeah, lozi xxxx
-
wow! this was a very interesting turn of events i mean the way u saved up all of that for the end and effectively expressed how all of us have limits and wont stand by and let people no matter who they are> I really felt that.
-
This poem really has an honorable motivation to it... Child abuse is disgusting... and really it is one of the most horrible acts a man can carry out... some would say even worse then murder.
-
wow, this is so sad. i'm not a big fan of child abuse. i don't like it at all and i think it's wrong. no child deserves to be hit and then have to lie about it to save her daddy. it's horrible. but in the child's eyes, their father can do no wrong. to them, daddy is daddy and that's all that counts until he starts hitting mommy....then the child protects daddy no more. great write. btw, i love that background.
-
Your poems are so full of heartfelt emotion and don't fail to bring tears to my eyes. The repetition is beautiful. You have a typo: "Please daddy I don't want to hear sweet little angle again." it doesn't quite flow but beacause of the theme it doesn't really need to.
-
This piece has a lot of emotion and stands up for the rights of abused kids which is great. I love the repitition of the sweet angel. However, it does have some problems with the flow.Maybe work on line lenght a little to make that better. I hope you are healing from this pain.
