Monster Daddy

Daddy used to say,

"I love you so much",

I belived him,
even though he had his hand on my crutch.

He used to say,

"Dont tell anybody what we did",

so when Mum got home from work
and asked what we got up to,
I found myself having to fib,

When I got to 14,
it got to rough,
I decided to tell my mum,
as enough was enough,

But when I told her
she got so upset,
she said I was an evil bitch and I was not telling the truth,
Thats when I lost my cool and hit the roof.

Now Im all alone on the streets,
wishing to die,
my father is at home with his feet up,
that barstard should be where I am
struggling to get by.

Good Mornin' Ben...

this is a great write, others do know, that it is happenin' they just make themselves ignorant. for all those that are in an abusive situation i do wish that they find the help that they need.yet sometimes when they get out of one situation they end up in another, as a former child advocate i wish Social Services would get tough on screenin'. "YES FOLKS THIS DOES HAPPEN , TO LITTLE BOYS AS WELL AS LITTLE GIRLS" once again Ben ,thanx for openin' our eyes to remind us about others that need our prayers in society.
