Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
All I know is, it makes us cry
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
We try very hard to be good
But no matter, it's never as it should
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
We run and hide and shake with fear
Afraid daddy may be coming near
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Quiet we are to not be heard
Screams from mommy, but not a word
We peak for mommy to look and see
Why daddy hits mommy, what could it be?
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Frustrated and sad, we begin to sigh
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Sometimes he's yelling words I don't knowOther times it's his fist he will show
Holes in walls, door all locked, bruises all over
Mommy would use makeup to try to cover
Daddy hits mommy, I don't know why
Maybe he's mixed up or maybe he's mad
All I know is that we're all very sad.
very thoughtful poem
