My name is Emily. I may only be two. But I have a story Esepecially for you to read.
My eyes all swollen and puffy. I cannot see one single bit. I must be stupid. I must be bad. What else would have made my parents So mad? I wish I was better than I am. I wish I weren't as ugly. Then maybe mommy Would still want to hug me. I can't speak even the tiniest little bit. I can't even make a little mistake. For if I do, I will be locked up All day long. No food or drinks. Nothing at all. Except my one and only friend. A little brown bear I call Tommy. When I shall wake No one will be home. The house is pitch black And not the slightest little peep Could be heard. My parents are not home. When mommy does come. I will be nice. I won't whine. So maybe,just maybe I will get just one whipping tonight. Shh! Don't make a sound! My daddy is home From Richard's bar. He curses at me Through his drunk voice. My name is what I hear. I press my self Against the livingroom wall. I try and hide From his evil eyes. I get so afraid when he is home. For one reason only. I am afraid he will beat me. I'm starting to cry. He spotted me weeping In the corner I am in. He shouts the ugliest words. He says it is all my fault That he suffers at work. He slapped me and hit me And yelled at me more. When I finally got free I ran to the door. He has already locked it And as I started to bawl My tiny little eyes out He picked me up And threw me against the hard wall. I fell to the floor. With my bones nearly broken, My daddy continues With mores bad words spoken. I screamed I was sorry. That did no good. It was much to late. His face has been twisted Into unimaginable hate. I don't know what I did to derserve this. The hurt and the pain Again and again. Oh please God, have mercy! Oh please let it end. He finally stopped. I wondered what happened That made hime hate me. He turned around And headed for the door, While I lay motionless Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Emily. I am just two And tonight my daddy Murdered me. Don't know why. Now it is over. No more pain. No more suffering.
What's wrong with me? I get lonely in a crowd Everyone is smiling But I make myself left out
I've got an imaginary shield around me But nobody's ever really gotten through I keep thinking that they're gonna break me free But they never do,no
When somebody's knocking, when somebody wants me When somebody's trying to love me completely I get scared, don't know how it works Will somebody save me or will I get burned? Don't wanna get burned
There's a thickness in the air Weighing heavy on my heart Why can't I just fit in? Why can't I do what everyone else does?
People come around like a storm When you least expect them to For me I run for cover when I should Really face the truth
When somebody's knocking, when somebody wants me When somebody's trying to love me completely I get scared, don't know how it works Will somebody save me or will I get burned?
