Her Pain

She lays on the floor
Residing in pain
Each bruise she has
Represents her shame

No one knows her everyday pain
She hides everything inside
Even her mind that is going insane

She looks in the mirror and lifts up her shirt
She looks at herself crying
Her body shows just how badly shes hurt

Tears fall fast as they run down her cheek
With every breath she becomes very weak
Falling to the floor she starts to puke up blood
Spattering to ground in colors of mud.

She hears the doors slamming through out th house
Her heart pounds painfully loud
She covers her chest trying to hide the thumping in her blouse.
Sitting in silence, staring at th floor
Trembling in fear, she sees his feet at the door

Trying to resist the pain shes about to feel
Dragging her to her feet he slaps her across the face
Yelling at her for being so stupid
He punches her in the waste

Ripping off his belt he raises it over his head
"Daddy no"! She yells
And he whips her into place
"I ain't no dad"! He tells

She holds in her screams
Each hit worse than the next
The pressure is worse than it seems
Finally he stops and leaves the room
Shes back lying on the floor
She can only feel her wounds

Praying that he leaves forever
She tries to sit up
And pull herself together
Wipes the tears off her eyes
Tries to control her crying and pain
Tells herself shes fine even though its all lies

She hears him leave
But its only for a while
Even his absence cant make her smile
Not knowing what to do anymore
Shes scared and weak
Shes left to lay bleeding on the floor
She hopes one day her dad pays
He gets to know how this feels
He will regret what hes done in so many ways
