> 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 have made
> My daddy so mad?
> I wish I were better,
> I wish I weren't ugly,
> Then maybe my Mommy
> Would still want to hug me.
> I can't speak at all,
> I can't do a wrong
> Or else I'm locked up
> All the day long.
> When I awake I'm all alone
> The house is dark
> My folks aren't home.
> When my Mommy does come
> I'll try and be nice,
> So maybe I'll get just
> One whipping tonight.
> Don't make a sound!
> I just heard a car
> 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
> I'm so afraid now
> I'm starting to cry.
> He finds me weeping
> He shouts ugly words,
> He says its my fault
> That 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
> And I start to bawl,
> He takes me and throws me
> Against the hard wall.
> I fall to the floor
> With my bones nearly broken,
> And my daddy continues
> With more bad words spoken.
> "I'm 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
> And I am but three,
> Tonight my daddy
> Murdered me.
