Gosh, I hope you weren't a victim. This is a very real poem. I was severely beaten as a child, although alcohol wasn't a factor, and I can identify with the horror expressed in this poem. Well put!

Linda, I pray that this is the poet, not the person talking. If the latter, I'm here if you want to talk. Been there, done that, hated it, survived it!

Linda, such a tragic ending to a child's nightmare. Either way she has to face the pain. Your words stung through my heart once again. You are so good at these,,you are the true child advocate,,and they are lucky to have one with a heart like yours on their side. Lisa

(((( Linda ))))
You have so captured the depths of the nightmare faced by so many innocent children.
There is hope...for they have an angel in you.
Love,

His hands reach for me
As he cries out in pain
All I can hear is the
Pounding of the rain
His lifes blood seeping
All over the floor
All I can think is
He won't hit me no more
Freedom I feel as his
Life fades away
Daddys little girl
I want him to pay

Keep writing.. maybe somehow it will help.. someday.. someway.. Superb!!
