As it becomes night, and the darkness falls
I try to hide beneath the covers, locking my door
My body starts to shake, trembling in fear
I try to close my eyes, hide my tears.
I hear the footsteps closely, my heart starts to break
How much more abuse, can a little girl take.
Slowly as the handle turns, I hear the key in the door
Why can t he leave me alone, Alittle girl of four.
He was suppose to protect me, as I was his little girl,
But how can a father do this, we live in a cruel world.
I was so little, I did not understand,
He was such a monster A very cruel man.
He took away everything, left me broken and despaired,
I though he was suppose to love me, a bond we should of shared.
Well as I am slowly growing up, I can finally see
That he is such a sick man, it never was me.
I tried to understand did I do something wrong
was I a naughty girl, it has gone on so long.
Well daddy you destroyed me, but now I will finally be
My life is now my own, my pain I will set free.

I know how you mean... But at least you can feel the strength and not be hidden in the shadows anymore. Be proud of yourself for realising its not you but infact him who has done wrong. It doesn't make it all better but it makes your opinion on yourself a little better.

wow.this is truly a depressing and amzing write. you wrote it with such natural flow and sadness, it was beautifull to read, yet disturbing and heartbreaking at the same time.
great write.
thanks for entering and goodluck -
Such a sad write... I hope this isn't a true story. If it is, I empathize with you greatly! I'll think of you today. This is as I have said a sad piece about heartbreak, pained love and the effects of a father mistreating his young daughter.
