My Secret

MY SECRET:

Father is there when I get home from school,
I'm happy there, hyper and playing the fool.
But as I pull on the handle and turn the key,
I feel a sense of dread and fear fills me.

I have a secret, a dark one,
A secret I've never told anyone.
Everyday when I come home,
Father waits till I'm alone,

Then he'll hit me with a spoon or shoe,
Till I bleed, till I'm black and blue.
Mom left us back in month three,
Since then all he's done is blame it on me.

I'm ugly, stupid, tarty, and fat,
It was my fault she left us, "You hear that you brat?!",
With a duck and a dive, I sometimes manage to swerve,
But I know in the end I'm gonna, "Get what I deserve".

Hospital a few times, "I was playing with my brother",
It's one lame excuse after another.
One of these days, I'm gonna break free,
One of these days, I'll be truly happy.

But until then I tell no one,
I have a secret,
I'm not telling anyone.
