Metal noises

by Corruption   Aug 24, 2006


the sun shines high above
and i know my brother must be just as high
for here he comes with his fists in his pockets
he stumbles here and there

he reaches me and lefts one of his fists
i flinch and run to hide
i hide in my fathers car
and i am safe for the time being

but i know eventually he will get me
he always does and always will
and when he gets me it will hurt
why does he do this to me

im so young
only seven and a half
why doesnt anyone stop him
my parents know of this problem

but they just watch and when my brother finishes
guess what they do
the encourage him they say good job
and this time my dad will yell at me for being in his car

when he yells my mother usaully smiles
my sisters cower they are even younger than i
but what they do to my sisters is worse than what happens to me
every night i hear and see my dad sneak into my sisters and my room

then he tells me to watch him be a man
he tells my sister that they know what to do
they start to cry because deep down they know this is wrong
but none of us could ever figure out why

we are young
we dont know much
we only go by our heart
as they say in movies

but our story never ends happy
a knight never comes and saves us
he nevers comes and tell us it is okay
no one ever comes to say it is not our fault

as i hide and think of this torture
my brother searches for me
i hear him pick up something metal
and i know this time it will hurt more

at night when i hear my sisters crying
and the bed crinking
i wonder why god doesnt just let us go join him
why does he do this to us

no god is the only one who cares
he is fighting my family every moment
but he can beat my brother and dad
but god will never give up he cant

again i think about my sisters and my dad
and how he makes one of my sisters sit and watch
then when he is finished he makes her do the same
and when ever i tell him to stop he gets my brother

now my brother isnt even high anymore when he hits me
this time i cant let him
i dont know if i will live another metal beating me
i am so weak i hardly get to eat

mother doesnt give me anything more than peice of bread
and some water from the toilet
she tells me i act like a dog i will drink like one too
she does the same to my sisters also

my brother is getting closer
i open the other door and sneak out
but he hears the car squeak
he runs over to me

he raises the metal thing
and i now notice it looks like one of those metal things on tv
one of those things that makes blood come out of the other side of you
i have seen it when dad watches tv and i sneak past

the thing also makes a loud noise
i see my brothers finger close around a clicky thing
then i hear a bang
and i think it is much louder than the ones on tv

as i drift up to god
i start to think about how my sister will be
but then i decide that i will help god fight my family
i wont give up until my sister come up here too
