Laying Here Awake

©  Kenny
do you hear me mom,
in the room right beside yours.
the only thing that separates us is dad and the wooden doors.
he touches me mama,
don't you even care?
that he's in my room so late,
and not in there?
he penetrates me,
he holds me down,
and yet you still do not come in.
but I have gotten used to it,
tomorrow it will happen again.
I grit my teeth and try not to cry.
I do not want to appear weak in his eyes.
moma I'm lying here now,
he's gone back to you.
how can you not know of the things he will do?
why don't you help,
why don't you stop him.
I'll just get used to it moma,
cuz tomorrow it will just happen again.

Awww.... I so wish you would tell! My little girl was abused by her father, my husband. It would of taken me forever to find out if she didn't speak out. She thought all of her hints, tales of scary things in her room, and her obvious pain was all it would take for me to know. She was sooo angry because I did not see. She would yell at me I told you and you're not listening! I was so confused by her thinking she told me something! Thank God she finally spoke out! I wish Mom's were equipped with an abuse detector but regretfully we are not. If someone is hurting you tell someone you trust. If you can't say it write it. That is the first step to healing! God be with all of the little children who know such pain.
