Poem

Hello everyone! I found this poem on the Internet and started to cry when I read it. It is a very sad poem I am starting this new poem thing where I find different poems on the Internet and post them on here once a week. And yes I will give credit for whoever wrote them. So here we go!


“My name is Chris,
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 can’t do a wrong,
I can’t speak at all,
Or else I’m locked up,
All day long
When I’m awake,
I’m 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 I’ll just get,
One whipping tonight
I just heard a car,
My daddy is back,
From Charlie’s bar
I hear him curse,
My name is called,
I press myself,
Against the wall.
I try to hide,
From his evil eyes,
I’m 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.
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 it’s 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 Chris,
I am three,
Tonight my daddy,
Murdered me.” :(
