| Lonely and scared she sits on the stairs Daddy's coming home soon. What should she do? Nine years old, too old for her age. She wants to grow-up Be an actress on the stage. If he keeps it up, she won't grow-up. She cant take the pain. Why does he hurt her? All she want's is love. That's not the feeling she gets from his touch. No one to talk to, No where to go. She goes and talks to her mother everyday. Crying and asking why she had to go away. She wil never get an answer when she's speaking to a grave. Her dad got home, drunk again. She prays and asks God, "Will this madness ever end?" Nine years old full of fear. Sitting in the bathroom wiping away tears She knows what's gonna happen, Because Daddy's had to many beers. She stops crying, no longer afraid. She just got a plan, to take her out of htis place. No one will miss her, No one will care. She's nine years old, does she dare? She goes into the kitchen and gets a knife. This can't hurt any worse than what daddy does every night. She sits in the tub and slits her wrists. Nine years old, no longer alone. At the end of the tunnel standing in the light. Is her mother what a beautiful sight. No more anger, no more fear. Nine years old shed her last tear. |
