Mother was gone again
written by piperneedshelp04:02 AM 1/27/05the songs play on the radio
one song...melting into another
half my attention is on the music
the other half...on the only other person in the house
my stepfather, the bastard
he watches me
"turn that raket off!" he shouts.
i obey, but only because i dont want a confruntation
but its enevidibel
why must he do this to me?
i dont understand
as darkness overtakes the light,
i work my way to my bed
but i'm not alone, he follows me too
what can i do?
i shut my door, in his face
i lock it, though deep inside me i know it will do no good
i sit on my bed, listening to the creeking
i lay down, trying to sleep
he comes into my room, through the locked door
i dont understand how he does it
every time my mother goes out of town
i miss my real father
he never did this to me
i must have done something wrong
but he leaves me soon
and for that i'm glad
i sleep, though my conscience is full
i go to school, for i cant be abnormal
people will question, and then what could i do?
my friends notice that i'm more quiet
and discover the new bruise showing on my cheek
i tell them there is nothing to worry
but i know they are coming smarter
i cant hide forever
but its so embarrassing........ |
