The Beautiful Child

A beautiful child
With a wonderful heart
Beaten badly
And torn apart
Her big brown eyes
Were filled with tears
Hidden from the world
along with her fears
Daddy took advantage
Mommy shut the door
Saw what went on
But just called her a wh***
And when it was over
He would whisper in her ear
"You keep your mouth shut
Do I make myself clear?"
Mommy was jealous
So the child was hit
Then under the staircase
She'd have to sit
Little sister was their angel
So perfect it hurt
The one who got dinner
And wasn't treated like dirt
They never touched sis
Except normal kisses and hugs
They gave her a bed
And all of their love
But the beautiful child
Slept under the stairs
Bruised and starved
But no one cared
