Do you hear my cries?

My daddy beats me,

and I dont know why?

Mommy tried to stop him, 

but he hit her too.

Our bruises are black and blue.



Mommy wants to get help, 

but daddy wont let her leave.

He said if she does he will hurt me more, 

and if needed,

bury me under the floor.



Mommy loves me,

so she stays.

Trying to keep me safe,

from Daddy's drunken rage.



Mommy keeps telling me sorry,

but I dont know why.

Some times I ask her if I can fly,

she says 'where to?'

I tell her to heaven,

That makes her cry.

Then daddy walks in and says,

'only angels can fly',

I see that rage in his eyes,

and I try to run,

but my little legs arent fast enough.



He knocks me out with one singly blow

and the next thing I know,

I see Mommy from below.

She's shaking me, 

wait... that cant be me,

she's telling me to wake up please.

I try, I really do, but I can't, 

and it makes me cry too.



Daddy was wrong,

I am an angel.

I keep watch over Mommy.

I even follow her to a place with a bunch of rocks,

And guess what one even says my name!

And it has the date too!
