"Daddy......it hurts"





My name is Chris ,
I am three,
My eyes are swollen..
I cannot 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 do a wrong,
I can't speak at all,
Or else I'm locked up,
All day long.

When I'm awake,
I'm all alone,
The house is dark,
My folks aren't home.
When my Mom does come home,
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll just get,
One whipping tonight.


I just heard a car,
My daddy is back,
From Charlie's bar

I hear him curse,
My name is called ,
I press myself,
Against the wall.

I try to hide,
From his evil eyes,
I'm so afraid now,
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping,
Calls me ugly words,
He says its my fault,
He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me,
And yells at me more,
I finally get free,
And run to 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 it's now much to late,
His face has been twisted,
Into a unimaginable shape.

The hurt and the pain,
Again and again,
O please God, have mercy!
O 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 Chris ,
I am three,
Tonight my daddy,
Murdered me.

I don't think it was written BY a 3-yr old.....but maybe on behalf of all those 3-yr olds out there experiencing that.

 

maybe was even written by a grown up......who's wrote it based on his own experiences as a 3-yr old!!

 

the message/words could be very real for many out there......and the mere thought of any child going through that is unbelieveable to me....and actually make me hurt.

An allegory, meant  to  convey  the  pains  and  suffering of a 3 yr old caught  in a  hellish  situation for  just  being  born. A  progeny of  infidelity?

" My name is Chris , 
I am three, 
Tonight my daddy, 
Murdered me..." encapsulate   a  whole lot -  The  loss of  childhood innocence and  the  birth  of a revenge  seeking  axe  murderer...?

Someone can write a poem based of a child's suffering or other persons personal experience. The poem may be based on true events because these abused are still happening from Fathers and Mothers alike. At the same time, they are caring fathers and mothers who are loving their children as we speak. However, I can't comprehend those who would even think to hurt a child to that extreme. When that happen, I think of my own kids. A quick death is far better than years of physical and psychological abuse upon any child. Only last night I saw a documentary in Africa how soldiers are carrying out atrocity on innocent children by chopping off their hands and feet and shooting them like a war game. That was the most graphic experience I ever witness in my life. This world is far more cruel than I once thought. Human cruelty and greed is what it all adds up to.
