ANOTHER DAY (CHILD ABUSE)

Another night, something went wrong
Sitting at the table, he snaps
A backhand to the face, i hit the floor
He opens the back door, my arm hurts
As he snatches me out
Onto the half screened in porch
Trash scattered all over, empty cans
I get up go to the corner, the winds howls
As i listen to the rats, as they look for food
I pray for daylight, i know he will leave
I learned to hate, way to soon
Just another day, a break
Back to school.©2007 Tracydr42
