I used to look up to you Father

I used to look up to you Father
That was before you;
Threatened to kill me
And raised your fists at Sarah!

You put your hands on my neck
You squeezed harder and harder
You shock me still locked onto my neck

As you took your hands of me
I couldn't breathe for a few seconds
And my vision went all black

I ran to my room shaking
I put on clothes and brushed my hair
As you took my mobile off me
You orderd me to clean up my room

I have been crying for well over an hour dad
Still hoping this is a dream
I can't stay here and I don't feel safe
I whispered to Sarah as you approached the room

I plan at night I will leave
I wrote a note addressed to James and Sarah
Hoping they will understand why
I'm shaking and crying uncontrollably as I wait until night

I will walk through the night
Until I reach a police station
I will tell them EVERYTHING dad
Even what happened years ago
So Sarah wont get hurt!

I see you dad look at me hurt and cold
I feel sick in my stomach
I then tell myself not to go along with my plan

Dad you will suffer one day
If you strangle me to death
You will have to face the facts
And hurt every day and suffer until you reach your box!!
