Daddy's rage

by Kaila   Feb 8, 2007


Its dark in her room
As she hides under her bed
She's hurt from all the
things he said

The alchohal has taken over
And filled him with rage
She feels like shes stuck inside
A box or a cage

She's in pain
As he abuses her inside and out
She feels so helpless
She can barely shout

Mommy's in denial
Blames it all on her
Last nights little incident
Seems to be a blur

She loves her daddy very much
But hates the alcoholic side
Because he hates her so much
All she can do is hide

She tells her teacher
Who loves her very much
But her daddy denied the whole thing
He said "I'd never touch"

When they got home
He beat her worse then before
He kicked and punched
And through her across the floor

She was screaming in agony
Stop daddy please but
he reached out
And punched her to her knees

Begging and pleading
Crying for more
He through her down now
Again the hard wood door

He said chil you listen to me
And you listen to me good
I've done lots of things
That I never should

So he picked her up
And thrusted her outside
He left her alone
And never said goodbye

    I've only read two other poems but I should say this is by far the best you’ve written. The poem holds a sadistic story and is explored well through a number of poetic techniques. The imagery helps convey the little girl's fear and inability to help herself. Just a suggestion for improvement:

    "A box or a cage" - you could change that to:
    "A God forsaken cage". I think it adds to the power of the story and elaborates the little girl's emotions a lot more.

    Very well done :).

    Wow, this was intense. Excellent flow and structure, however; I felt this poem would be much stronger with puncuation. Overall good job.

    In the first line, "Its" should be "It's"

    First line second stanza and second line fifth stanza, "alchohal" should be, "alcohol"

    Third line second stanza, "shes" should be, "she's"

    Seventh stanza last line and the ninth stanza third line, "through" should be, "threw"

    Tenth stanza first line, "chil" should be, "chill"

    Peace, Joe
