My name is Sarah I am about 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 speak at all I can´t do a wrong
Or else I´m locked up all day long
When I awake I´m all alone
The house is dark my folks aren´t home
When my mommy does go home
I´ll try and be nice
So maybe I´ll get just one whipping tonight
Don´t make a sound
I just heard a car
My daddy is back from Charlie´s bar
I hear him curse my name he calls
I press myself against the wall
I try and hide from his evil eyes
I´m so afraid I started to cry
He finds me weeping he shouts ugly words
He says is my fault at he suffer at the work
He slaps me and hits me and yells at me more
I finally get free and run for 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 too late
His face has been twisted into unimagenable hate
The hurt and the pain again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh 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 Sarah and I´m about three
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
