She hides her bruises,
Concealing the pain.
She tries not to cry,
When daddy begins again.
My blood starts to fall,
As the tears stream my cheeks.
I feel his hand come down on my back,
As my knees grow weak.
I beg for him to stop,
He doesn't listen to me.
I plea over and over,
Yet still he makes me bleed.
Trying to cover my bruises,
Breaking apart inside.
Day by day I grow weaker,
Slowly I begin to die.
My blood falls like tears,
As daddy hurts me again.
How could this monster say he loves me,
While causing me so much pain?
It becomes ever so much harder,
To hide the bruises on my body.
I beg for him to stop,
I cry out for him not to hurt me.
My hidden bruises overcome reality,
Breaking me apart inside.
The pain was too overwhelming,
I had no where to hide.
A little girl lies on the floor,
Covered in her blood.
No more do you hear her screams,
No more do her tears flood.
Author notes
Even one child dying from child abuse is too many. But when it's at thousands of thousands a year...There is something very wrong here.

i can relate to this more than you may think. my dad has the ever so pleasent disease of alcoholism, i say its a sad excuse for being a petty loser. and i know how it feels to be hurt by your own flesh and blood, many of my poems are about my dad in fact, i really hope things get or got better...it sucks when the only place to go doesnt even feel like home, i know.

As daddy hurts me again.

Wow...this is heartbreaking but a beautiful poem.
I hope this is not something you had to go through- if so Im so sorry, if not then you write about it very convincingly.
Very very sad but very earnestly written and beautiful.
Nice work, keep it up.

The torture of humans by other humans gives me reassurance that the animals of this world are absolutely disgusted by us!
Awesome write!

This is heartwrenching. It's terrible that parents or caretakers or anyone can be so cruel to another human being. It's enough to make you sick. Awesome write. Keep letting your feelings out! **Sonya
