Did u hug me <br />then touch my <br />breast <br />Beat me black <br />and blue from <br />the tips of my <br />toes to the base <br />of my neck, <br /> <br />Why did you not <br />love me like <br />the rest <br /> <br />Daddy why <br />Did you make me <br />hate myself <br /> <br />Why did you <br />through me across <br />the living room floor <br />when my arm was <br />already broke <br /> <br />Daddy why <br />Didn't you protect me <br />from all the bad <br />things that were <br />happening to me. <br /> <br />Why did you not help me <br />when you knew <br />i was being sexual <br />abused <br /> <br />Daddy why <br />Did it please you that i <br />was so scared of <br /> you <br /> <br />Grown woman now <br /> with grown <br />kids of my own <br />I have forgiven all <br />those who wronged <br />me <br /> <br />And with Gods <br />grace i survived, <br />I just have one <br /> question <br /> <br />Daddy why <br />Do you hate <br />me so. <br /> <br />Written by <br />Copyright Jackie Kirby 2/2/05<br /><br />Jackie Kirby<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddy-why-2/
