my name is sarah
i am but three
my eyes are swollen
i cannot see

i must be stupid
i must be badd
what else could have made 
my daddy so mad

i wish i were better
i wish i werent ugly
then maybe my mommy
would still want to hug me

i cant speak at all
i cant do a wrong
or else im locked up
all the day long

when i awake im all alone
the house is dark
mt folks arent home

when my mommy does come
ill try and be nice
so maybe ill get just
one whipping tonight


dont make a sound
i just heard a car
my daddy is back
from charlies bar

i hear him curse
my name he calls
i press myself
against the wall

i try and hide 
from his evil eyes
im so afraid now
im starting to cry

he finds me weeping
he shouts ugly words
he says its my fault
that he suffers at work

he slaps me and hits me
and yells at me more
i finally get free
and i run for the door

hes 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

im sorry i scream
but its now much too late
his face has been twisted
into unimaginable hate

the hurt and the pain
again and again
oh please god have mercy
oh 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 sarah
and i am but three
tonight my daddy
murdered me
