Help Me

I hear your loud screaming
As I scamble down under my duvet.
Your angry, hateful obscenities are getting louder.
I try to cover my ears.

Your footsteps stop outside my door.
Suddenly, the door opens up.
I shake in terror in the dark
As you shove me violently to the floor.

You start to yell at me,
Verbally abuse me.
Learning a long time ago not to talk back
I only listen, intimidated and terrified.

A sudden blow on my cheek interrupts my silent prayers
Another blow on my back
My legs, my head, my neck.
Stop bashing me up!

I cry out, hurt and traumatized
In agony I howl.
The only thing I get in return is
Another strike for being to loud.

Help me.
Don't lie about my injuries.
Help me.
Take me away from this nightmare I'm in.

Mama is nowhere in sight
While her little girl is being slammed
Against the wall.
Where are you? Why aren't you helping me?

All I can hear is the sound of my own boned breaking.
I can taste blood in my mouth.
He yanks me by my hair,
Dragging me down the stairs.

Help me.
Help me.

Under the light I can see my scars
My legs twisted
My black-and-blue arms
My ears ringing.

I look around, whimpering
As he cried out, "Shut up,
You stupid girl! Everyone will hear!"
I cut short, scared to death.

As I lie here on the cold floor
Who is to rescue me?
No more comforting hugs.
Oh, No, has he killed you already?

The thought of living without you terrifies me.
I start to cry loudly.
Knowing I have got to stop
I bite my lips.

Too late,
He comes back.
He is hurting me again,
He twist my arm behind my back.

Help me!

I slowly drift away
Everything seems so blurry and distant.
Maybe I am dying,
Maybe that will be better.

I wake up the next morning,
The sun shining on my face.
Doctor's face clouds with concern.
I nod as he asks if I'm okay.

But I'm not okay,
He's here!
Instead of the angry face I saw last night,
He puts on a mask of happiness.

"I'm so glad your awake!
Let's celebrate!"
The doctor pats me on the head
Walking away.

I try to call him, to ask him to come back
Desperately I try to say,
"Don't leave me alone with him."
But my lips are too sore and I cannot speak.

A short while later I am better...
Healthy enough to go home.
I plead the nurse with my begging eyes,
I am too scared to tell them what's going on.

I have no choice but to follow him,
as he grabs my hand tightly, leading me away.
No, I want to stay!
Leave me alone!

I turn back, nobody noticed me,
My hurt and battered body.
Returning back to where I was harmed
Back I go.

Help me!
