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 cant do a wrong

I cant speak at all

Or else im locked up

All day long.



When im awake im all alone

The house is dark

My folks arent home

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe ill just get

One whipping tonight.



I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Chariles bar.



I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall



I try to hide

From his evil eyes

Im 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



Hes 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,



"Im sorry!", I scream

But its 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

And you can help



Sickens me to the soul,

And if you read this

and dont pass it on

I pray for your forgivness



Because you would have to be

One heartless person

To not be effected

By this Poem



And because u r effected,

Do something about it!

So all i ask you to do

Is pass this on!



IF YOU ARE AGAINST CHILD ABUSE!

Send this to as many people to stop it!!!

NO child should have to go through this.
