Another night, something went wrong <br />Sitting at the table, he snaps <br />A backhand to the face, i hit the floor <br />He opens the back door, my arm hurts <br />As he snatches me out <br />Onto the half screened in porch <br />Trash scattered all over, empty cans <br />I get up go to the corner, the winds howls <br />As i listen to the rats, as they look for food <br />I pray for daylight, i know he will leave <br />I learned to hate, way to soon <br />Just another day, a break <br />Back to school.<br /><br />Tracy Rollings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anotherday-child-abuse/
