Only three

My name is Misty, I am but three my eyes are swollen shut I can not 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 can't speak at all I can't do no wrong or I get locked up all day long when I awake I'm all alone the house is dark my folks aren't home when my mommy comes home I'll try to be nice so maybe I'll just get one whipping tonight don't make a sound! I just heard a car my daddy is back from Charlie’s bar I hear him curse my name he calls I press myself against the wall I try to hide from his evil eyes I'm so afraid now I start to cry he finds me weeping he shouts ugly words he says its my fault he suffers at work he slaps me and hits me and yells at me more I finally get free and run for the door he's 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 I'm Sorry!, I scream but now its much to late his face has been twisted into unimaginable hate the hurt and the pain again & again oh please god have mercy! oh 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 Misty and I am but three and tonight... My daddy murdered me
