My name is Vanessa







I am three,







My eyes are swollen







I cannot see,







I must be stupid







I must be bad,







What else could have made







My daddy so mad?







I wish I were better







I wish I weren't ugly,







Then maybe my mommy







Would still want to hug me.







I cant do a wrong







I cant speak at all









Or else im locked up







All day long.







When im awake im all alone







The house is dark







My folks aren't home







When my mommy does come home







I'll try and be nice,







So maybe ill just get







One whipping tonight.







I just heard a car







My daddy is back







From Charlies bar







I hear him curse







My name is called







I press myself







Against the wall







I try to hide







From his evil eyes







Im so afraid now







I'm starting to cry







He finds me weeping







Calls me ugly words,







He says its my fault







He suffers at work







He slaps and hits me







And yells at me more,







I finally get free







And run to the door







Hes already locked it







And I start to bawl,







He takes me and throws me







Against the hard wall







I fall to the floor







With my bones nearly broken,







And my daddy continues







With more bad words spoken,







"Im sorry!", I scream







But its now much to late







His face has been twisted







Into a unimaginable shape







The hurt and the pain







Again and again







O please God, have mercy!







O please let it end!







And he finally stops







And heads for the door







While I lay there motionless







Sprawled on the floor







My name is Vanessa







I am three,







Tonight my daddy







Murdered me
