To Young for Pain
Balled
My Name is Katie
I am only four
My Daddy never used
to hit me before
Lady, Lady
I need some ice
He punched me in the eye
It was not very nice
Excuse me, excuse me
I freeze with fright
As the door slams
I fear the pain that awaits me tonight
While he shouts in my face
You're such a waste
he kicks my knee
with a look of distaste
"I'm sorry" I scream
As he balls up his fists
Grabbing me by my wrists
He is daring me to resist
I know it’s my fault
for not being what he wants
If he found me perfect
He would not subject me to his taunt
Nobody listens
Nobody cares
I’m just a child
Messing in their affairs
