"zack"

my name is Zack...

i am but fourteen...

my eyes are swollen...

I cannot see, ...

I must be stupid ...

I must be bad, ...

What else could have made...

My dad so mad? ...

I wish I were better ...

I wish I weren't ugly, ...

Then maybe my mum ...

Would still want to hug me....

i dont want to speak at all ...

i can't do a wrong ...

hoặc else I'm locked up ...

All the ngày long. ...

When I awake I'm all alone...

The house is dark ...

My parents aren't trang chủ ...

When my mum does come...

I'll try and be nice, ...

So maybe I'll get just...

One whipping tonight...

Don't make a sound!...

I just heard a car...

My dad is back ...

from that drunken Bar. ...

I hear him curse ...

My name he calls ...

I press myself ...

Against the tường ...

I try and hide ...

From his evil eyes ...

I'm so afraid now ...

I'm starting to cry ...

He finds me weeping ...

He shouts ugly words,...

He says its my fault ...

That he suffers at work. ...

He slaps me and hits me ...

And yells at me more,...

i finally get free ...

And I 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 dad continues ...

With thêm bad words spoken....

"I'm sorry!", I scream ...

But its now much too late...

His face has been twisted...

into unimaginable hate...

The hurt and the pain ...

Again and again ...

please, 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 Zack ...

And I am but 14, ...

Tonight my dad ...

almost Murdered me.
