Daddy
Daddy, what's wrong?
All I can see is your face.
Your hands wrapped around my neck, black spots cloud my vision.
I can barely breathe.
Daddy, why do you hate me so much?
I paid for mommy's mistakes,
and now I think that it's my time.
I have done nothing wrong.
Daddy what have I done?
I wish I knew, but my young mind cannot comprehend.
You wish to teach me a lesson, of what you think I did wrong.
But I have done nothing.
Daddy, what happened?
I am almost dead,
and my last dying wish
is that the same fate does not land upon my little brother and sister.
Daddy, what have you done?
