The Day I Rise

You think you are loved

But all who really loves you

Is the god above you

You would think home would be a safe place

But you always try to run away…

Like its a race…                                                                                                     Soon I will fly...

Run away from your home

When you are being hurt

Scared when you are left alone

Thinking he’s going to choke you and dangle you by your feet..                             I die….

You think why me? I don’t deserve to get hurt at all

I’m a human being.

I’m a person not a chuckie doll.                                                                                I cry…

I want to get away

I want to get help

But he threatens to beat me one day

And send me straight to hell

I cannot fight back with words or hands

Face it, it is not going to be an easy fight

Because I’m a girl, he’s a man.

Sometimes I wish I can take my own life

I suffer everyday in that home

I suffered just like Jesus Christ

But no one can hear me                                                                                        I’m all ALONE…

Ever since my mother had died, he blames me

For his mistakes

Because I came out a mixed baby, and not his race.                                            I wonder why…

There is not a day I wish I could die

Or be where my mother is up in the sky

He will beat me and torcher me till the day I die

But he will never take my Dignity or Pride

This is the day I RISE.
