Daddy Please NoA Poem by Shaynuh SilkenJust my thoughts.Tonight my father will come back, I really hope he'll cut me some slack. I've been a good girl all year long, I'll make sure he knows I’ve done nothing wrong. I hope tonight I will be spared, But the truth is…I’m really scared. Into the driveway, a car pulls in, I know that the battle, is about to begin. I run to my room, and hide under the bed, Fore I know the love in him, is completely dead. I hear the house door begin to creak, I hold my breath; I’m too frightened to speak. Suddenly, his voice erupts, he screams my name, Once Again, for some random thing...I’m to blame. His fists start to pound on my door, And I see his large shadows, cast upon the floor.
He drops down and reaches under, Then throwing me to the ground. I live life, always lying. Day after day, I’ve got nothing to say. I wouldn’t be looking around, Now I look down, My spirit does weep, © 2013 Shaynuh Silken |
