LITTLE SARAH


My names Sarah and i live with my Dad, him and Mom split up when i was five Daddy's barely home and I'm always alone i still ask God how I'm still able to survive. Daddy comes home drunk most of the time so i try to hide he gets angry and calls me nasty names I'm worried about him ever since mom left he haven't been acting the same. I tell him my dreams and all he does is laugh and says "Sarah your talking crazy" then lowers my self-esteem, One night he came home and he begin to beat on me but that was back when i was three, he left a black and blue on my eye it was hard for me to see for a few days wait...maybe weeks, i still remember crying myself to sleep i know in the morning the pain will all be over because by then he'll be sober. Daddies ask me to do all these crazy things but I'm only eight! and when i can't do it right he beats on me with certain things like cups and plates, the love he has for me been misplace and with every negative things he says to me my heart breaks, my house is no longer a home it hasn't been one since mom been gone .... Well I have to go hide again Daddy just walked in...
