Why Can't You See?

Pushed into a room,
And stripped down to bare skin,
I make a run for the door,
I can’t believe I’m locked in.

Fumbling with the lock,
He grabs me by the arm,
Pins me down on the ground,
Hoping he wouldn’t do me any harm.

Tears running down my face,
Hands and feet bound with rope,
Having my body shiver with cold,
Pain will soon be gone is what I hope.

One crack of the whip,
I felt it right on my back,
I scream out in pain,
And just then, another crack!

I shriek in panic,
In horror, in agony,
After sometime,
I realize, they can’t hear me.

With what seemed like hours,
It all went away,
Passing out into the darkness,
And waking to the break of day.

Laying on the floor,
My head is pounding,
As if my heart is in my head
That’s how it’s sounding.

I make an attempt to move,
But no success is found,
I feel as if I’m broken,
Laying on the ground.

Images of last night,
Running through my mind,
I try to think good thoughts,
But pain and fear is all I find

I try not to remember,
Just what made me feel this way,
A tear runs down my cheek,
And in my mind I pray…

That the next time he’s mad,
He doesn’t take it out on me,
It hurts so much daddy,
Why can’t you see?
