Please Daddy

I'm so very little
and my Daddy is real tall
I'm trying very hard now
to make myself more small .

Maybe he won't see me
if I shut my eyes real tight
Maybe he won't hit me
if I pray with all my might.

God please keep daddy yelling
even tho it scares me through
Cause when the room gets quiet
I know what he will do.

And next day he'll tell the neighbors
that I had a nasty fall
They helped my Daddy hurt me
cause they never made a call.
