Help Me

I hear your loud screaming,as i scramble down under my duvet,your angry, hateful obscenities are getting louder, I try to cover my ears.Your footsteps stop outside my door. Suddenly, the door opens up. I shake in terror in the dark as you shove me violently down to the floor. You start to yell at me, verbally abuse me. Learning along time ago not to talk back. I only listen, intimidated and terrified.A sudden blow on my cheek interrupts my silent prayers.My tiny legs, my head, my neck.Stop bashing me up!I cry out, hurt and traumatized.In agony i howl.The only thing i get in return is another strike for being too loud.Help me mama.Don't lie about my injuries.Help me mama. Take me away from this nightmare I'm in.Mama is nowhere in sight, while her little girl is being slammed against the wall. Where are you? Why aren't you helping me?All I hear is the loud sound of my own bones breaking. I can taste the blood in my mouth, daddy yanks me by my hair, dragging me down the stairs. Help me mama, Help me. Under the light i can see my scars. My legs twisted, my black and blue arms, my ears ringing. I look around, whimpering , As daddy cries out,"shut up you bad girl! Neighbors will hear!"
I cut short, scared to death.As i lie here on the cold floor, who is to rescue me? no more mama's comforting hugs? Oh mama, has he killed you already?the thought of living without you terrifies me. I start to cry loudly,knowing that i have to stop, i bite my lips. Too late, daddy comes back, he is hurting me again, he twists my little arm behind my back.Mama! Help me!. I slowly drift away, everything seems so blurry and distant. Maybe i am dying, maybe it is better that way. I wake up the next morning,the sun shining on my face. Doctor's faces cloud with concern. I nod as he asks me if i am Okay. But I'm not okay, daddy's there! Instead of the angry face i saw last night, he puts on a mask of happiness. "I'm so glad your awake!Let's celebrate." The doctor pats me on the head, walking away. I try to call to him, to ask him to come back, desperately, i try to say," don't leave me alone with him" But my lips are too sore and i cannot speak. A short while later i am better..... Healthy enough to go home.I plead the nurse with my begging eyes, I am too scared to tell them what's going on. I have no choice to follow daddy, as he grabs my hand tightly, leading me away. No, i want to stay! Leave me alone! I turn back, but nobody notices me, My hurt and battered tiny body. Returning back where i was harmed, Back I go...... Help me Mama !!!
