You're still young and innocent and mild <br />After all you're still only a child <br />You have parents, that are supposed to protect you <br />But often they don't, more than they do <br />Some fathers love their kids more than anything <br />But there are bad ones, that disgrace they will bring <br />You dread the night, when you go to bed <br />That he will come in, say things that shouldn't be said <br />They will sneak around when no one else is home <br />They can't hurt you if they can't catch you alone <br />They will say you can't tell what they did to you <br />They will tell you lies that just aren't true <br />You get so you can't stand his filthy touch <br />They say they do this because they love you so much <br />You want his love and so afraid to tell <br />Love him so much, don't want him in jail <br />You feel so hopeless and so very sad <br />Can't remember a time, that he made you glad <br />If your mother doesn't believe you, continue to tell <br />You need to do something, scream or yell <br />This is a poem, that's hard to hear <br />You don't deserve the pain and all the fear <br />Some people have children, they don't derserve <br />Our children's rights, we have to preserve <br />You can go to school and tell your teacher <br />If that doesn't work go and tell your preacher!<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/child-abuse/
