Took off his belt

You were always so violent,
I could never understand why.
I tried to be so good
Your 'perfect' little girl
You made me feel unwanted, worthless and alone
The hurt, the anger and frustration beat me black and blue
I guess you didn't realize how big & strong you were

The day you took off your belt, I tripped down the stairs,
For sobbing you 'toughened' me
And whipped me with your belt
The warm liquid trickled down my back
The tears fell to the floor
Mummy begged you to stop, but you just kept on going
Until the pain became too much for your little angel
Passed out on the floor

Mummy wiped the tears and made me smile again
Worry etched in her face as she covered up my wounds
I tried to be so good Daddy
Tiptoeing on the floor, cleaning up my toys
Nothing pleased you Daddy
I'm sorry I was so naughty
Now I have the scars
And everyone will know, what a naughty little girl I was
