ABUSED
Broken hopes, broken dreams
Life ripped apart at the seams
Child lays bleeding on the ground
Father-the giver of pain
The innocent-the receiver
Apologies said yet the pain still lingers on the inside
Tearing, ripping, eating away
Child thinks it's their fault
Wondering what they did wrong
Threatened not to tell anyone
Children live in fear of their hero
The one they once looked up to is now their nightmare
Mothers stand in the shadows pretending nothing is wrong
How much longer will this go on until someone's life is taken?
