I only hear loud screaming,
His footsteps stomping up the stairs
What should I do?
I’m scared
My bedroom door slams open,
My body shakes as if I were cold
I know what’s going to happen,
It always does
Slammed against the wall,
Falling to the floor
Slapped across my face,
Make-up will not hid these marks
Mom’s at work,
Nobody here to save me
I want him to stop,
Only feeling more pain
I’m sorry,
What did I do wrong?
Tears come,
Still nobody here to save me
I beg him to stop,
Hits me harder
Mom’s back from work,
Bruises all over my body
Stares at me,
does nothing but walk away
When will it end?
