She cleans the house
She mops the floors
She vacuums the rugs.
So her family would be happy.
So her family would be proud.
So her family will not hurt her tonight.
Her brother comes home.
"Where's my damn food, bitch?!"
he’d scream at her.
"He- here it is."
She says, handing him a plate filled with hot food.
He looked at it and threw it on her,
burning her skin.
She screamed.
"I didn't want this shit!"
he screamed, kicking her side.
She screamed more, from him kicking her.
After about an hour of him beating her,
he left her on the floor.
"Clean this shit up!"
She stood on shaky legs
and cleaned up the mess.
Her parents came home.
"What the hell is this?!"
her father asked, pointing at the food.
He didn't let her answer and slapped her in the face.
Her mother gasped and tried to stop him
only to be slapped as well.
She begged her mother with her eyes to go
somewhere safe.
He slapped her again
as her mother crawled away.
He slapped her for a while
and made her remake dinner.
She complied,
wanting to do one thing right.
She finished and waited for her father to send her to bed.
"Eat some of the shit you made before and go to bed
you filth." he said harshly.
She thanked him and ate some thing quickly and quietly
going into her room.
She took off her cloths, holding in her
screams from the pain.
She put on her long sleeved shirt and baggy pants.
She got into bed and passed out from the pain
She woke when she felt her mothers cold hands on her bruised cheek.
"You can stay home from school sweetie.
I'm so sorry." shed say.
She nods her head and let the darkness consume her vision once again.
She awakes to so much pain.
She stands and try to get the house clean
for her loving family.

Horribly sad and way too often horribly true. She have written well a story of abuse, heartbreak and pain. A few problems in changing tenses and pronouns, but over all a good write. I felt it was more a story than a poem though, although all of that comes in time with more experience in writing and phrasing. Congrats on your trophies.

This was ..... a great write ..... a horrible storry but a great write. So often this happens to so many children. Have you ever listened to Alyssa Lies by Jason Micheal Carroll it goes along in these lines. I cry every time I hear the song. Thank you for sharing this.
-
I hope you understand that how this poor child in your story is treated is terribly wrong. No one needs to be touched in this manner. People should only touch each other in love and comfort. And if this were a perfect world it would happen.
But more often your tale is what happens. Scarey isn't it.
Another excellent write. For as young as you are you write very well! -
Sad
How many times does this happen in families I often wonder
A story others should read to absorb the impact of abuse
Best wishes and thank you
