A Knot of Hope
Location
A daughter born from sin
In my father’s eyes I could never win
A home, my cage
Full of hate and rage
Bruises covering my mother
Made by the man I call father
Screams, wakening me in the dead of night
Much too small to put up a real fight
As the sun awakes so shall peace
For my nightmare will vanish, as will the Beast
A rope-a rope with a knot
Is the money that bought
My home sickened hope
Hope that causes us to choke
The flesh of the abuser now wears the color
Purple and blue hidden underneath his collar
A daughter paying for all her father’s sin
Will she ever be able to win?
