Warning.. Very Sad

[SilentEyz]

Seeing the stories about the children being posted in Current Events.. reminded me of this poem,

I dont know where I got it, but I have had it for a while.. its sad

Sarah

My name is Sarah
I am but 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 can't speak at all,
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.

When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.

When my Mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.

I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.

He's 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.

"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh 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 Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.​

I hate reading shit like this. And I hate that it actually happens.

That poem breaks my heart. Unfortunately it happens way too often. And unless the child does die, the parent gets away with the beatings time and time again.

That poem was my life growing up, except my Father didn't go to bars, my Mother tried to keep peace and I am still alive, but the pain and the memories are never, ever forgotten. Coming home from work and beating my brother and I for no reason with anything he could find; if not, then with his fists. That's when I felt like I didn't belong here and just wanted to disappear to somewhere else, to a peace...somewhere.

Sorry, but it hit way too close to home for me...

There is nothing worse than to be called to a meeting site to transfer a child from a ground unit to life flight that has been beaten.


Well yes there is, when we loose them in flight
