Everyday people ask to see my wrist because they know.
When they see the cuts new and old, they ask why.
I don't want to tell them that my dad hits me.
I know this happens to other people too.
But when it comes my turn it seems all their pain comes to me.
I make good grades.
I do what I am told.
I have a good personality and I get along with everybody.l
So why does dad pick me to beat on?
He doesn't beat my half sister.
She is his kid and my moms, he's not going to hit her.
But me the kid he got stuck with when he married the woman of his dreams.
He didn't like me, so he beats me.
Everytime I try to tell mom, she doesn't believe me!
Why? Why is God doing this when I have been faithful to him my whole life?
I guess I am just going to end it all and drownd in a river of blood!!!
