I am just a little girl
So innocent and sweet
I am a little girl
Who is often beat?
I am a cute little girl
Or that’s what people say
I just wonder why
I am treated
This way
Why am hit and slapped
Called horrible names
Why am I beat black and blue
Left in so much pain
I must be a terrible person
I must have done something,
Really bad
Because it seems once again
My parents are angry and mad
I swear I try to be good
And do the best I can
I just want,
Mommy and daddy to love,
And cuddle me
Not hit me with their hands
I play with my toys
They say I play to loud
If I sing to my dolly
They yell what’s that awful sound
They say go to you’re room
You’re getting on our nerves
How many times must we tell you?
You’re a bad little girl
I get so bored and scared
In my room all alone
Because sometimes,
When they put me there
They leave me home alone
They head out to the bar
For another night of fun
I am stuck in my room
I have no one
No dinner again tonight
No breakfast or lunch
Just another way
I am punished
By my folks
I sit here in my room
I know better than to come out
They always seem to know
Where I’ve been in the house
I sure would like some food
But I better not
What if they come home?
I know what will happen
If I’m caught
Oh I heard a noise
Yes they are home
Oh no they are arguing
This can’t be any good
They are coming up the stairs
I run and try to hide
I don’t want to get
Another beating again tonight
They come into my room
And find me hiding there
I look into their eyes
And see their ice cold stare
First my father hits me
Then mom has a turn
Before long
I’m curled up in a ball,
On the floor
I screaming please don’t hit me
I did nothing wrong
I stayed here in my room
The whole time you were gone
My tears they start to fall
That was a mistake
Cause it only makes them madder
When they see me cry
I try to run from them
I am heading towards the door
I guess they thought of that
Because they’ve locked the door
They hit me again and again
My eyes begin to close
I am losing consciousness
From their hateful blows
The room it starts to spinning
My eyes are swollen shut
My body is filled with pain
I can’t take anymore
My eyes they never open again
They can’t hurt me anymore
You see last night they went too far
And they killed their little girl
