We suffer their abuse
We suffer their anger

Our children live in fear
Our children live in terror

Tell me why they must suffer
Tell me why they must hurt

You see my daddy hit me not to long ago
And it made me cry so

You see my daddy drinks to much
And sometimes he hurts my mommy

I cry at night when my uncle comes to my room
He touches me in places he shouldnt

I tried to tell my mommy
but she yelled at me

Theirs no one in the world I can turn to
I dont like my uncles touches
I dont like my daddy's fists
I dont like my mommys cruelty

Now i'm all grown with children of my own
yesterday my little girl came to me
She told me her daddy was touching her
She told me how it hurt her so

And it sent my mind back to days of old
My anger raged
My hurt was clear

I faced her daddy
I called the police

He was taken away
and now my little girl
isnt sad today

This is true so many times...
I hope this isn't written from experience,
but if it is I'm glad you child is safe, now.
So heart wrenching...

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

it's a hard thing to go through, I know...I do know

this is a tough subject for me, so I'll just say I was here...and let it go at that
