i forgive you

This poem is dedicated to all of the young girls who are crying out for help. Maybe someone doesn't believe you now. But keep trying to speak up and get help. Don't end up like the young lady in this.

Slap!
I never do anything wrong
even though I don't you hit me all day long
Slap!
you just hit me again till I'm black and blue
all just because I looked at you
Slap!
you hit me hard across the face
screaming at me saying I'm a disgrace
Slap!
you hit me again just because I asked you why
why do you shout ugly words at me
why do you wish I would die
Slap!
you never hear my screams
you always break my dreams
you never hear my beg
you throw me against the wall and break my leg
Slap!
you hit me for talking back
you hit me so hard I heard a crack
Slap!
Daddy I don't care what you do
I will always love you
I can no longer make a sound
For now I'm buried in the ground
Even though now I look down upon you from above
I will always send you my love
Oh daddy I love you but I wish you would learn
your supposed to look at a child with love but your look is so stern
But remember what I told you daddy before I died
I don't care daddy what you do
I will always love you

Good God.. what a powerful piece. I couldn't stop reading and when I got to "for now I'm buried in the ground" literally made my skin crawl. Great job!
