My name is Sarah
I am but three
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see

I must be stupid
I must be bad.
What else could
make my daddy so mad?

I wish I were better
I wish I wern't ugly
Then maybe my mommy
would still want to
hug me.

I can't speak at all
I can't do no wrong
Or I'm locked up
all the day long

When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice
and maybe I'll get just
one whipping tonight

Don't make a sound
I just hear a car
My daddy is back
from Charlie's Bar

I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall

I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry

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

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more
I finally get free
I run for the door

He's already locked it
I start to bawl
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor
With bones nearly broken
My daddy continues
With more bad words
spoken

Im sorry I scream
But now its much to late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate

The hurt the pain
again and again
Oh God have mercy
Oh please let it end

And he finally stops
He heads for the door
I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor

My name is Sarah
I am but three
Today my daddy
MURDERED ME
