My name is Sarah
I am but three
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see
I must be stupid
I must be bad
What else could of made
My dad so mad
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly
Then maybe mummy
Would want to hug me
I cant speak at all
I cant do a wrong
Or else Im locked up
All the day long
When I awake Im all alone
The house is dark
My folks arent home
When mummy does come
Ill try and be nice
So maybe Ill get
Just one whipping tonight
Dont make a sound
My daddy is back
From Charlie's bar
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself against the wall
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
Im so afraid now
Im starting to cry
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words
He says its my fault
He suffers at work
He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
And I run for the door
He's already locked it
I start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall
I fall to the floor
My bones nearly broken
And my daddy continues
With more bad words
Im sorry I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God have mercy
Oh please let it end
And he finally stops and heads for the door
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor
My name is Sarah
I am but three
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
