In the Shoes of an Abused Child
In the Shoes of an Abused Child
I felt the tears
Running down my face,
Here I am scared
In the same old place.
He's coming towards me,
I simply cannot breathe.
Will I die this time?
I certainly believe.
My heart is beating
Totally out of control.
Is this where it happens,
Is this where he gets my soul?
Will my heart just stop,
Or will it explode?
I can't take much more,
I'm already in complete overload.
If the fear doesn't
Do me in this time,
What will happen,
Will I lose my mind?
I've got to try
To stop him before I die!
Please, Daddy, I promise,
Please don't, I won't cry!
Daddy, please, it hurts,
Please, I beg you to stop!
I'll be a good boy this time,
Whether you believe me or not!
I'm trying so, so hard
To not cry any tears.
Please, Daddy, please,
It hurts, I can hardly hear!
Somebody stop him, please!
Oh look, now I'm starting to bleed!
I'm losing my mind now,
How could this possibly be?
I'm lying in the corner of the room
In a pool of blood.
What's wrong with me, please,
What in the world have I done?
I was just petting my puppy,
He attacked, calling me a stupid dummy.
Oh God, somebody please help me!
Where in the world is my mommy?
I've been kicked over and over,
Now it's impossible for me to walk.
He stands me up, now cursing,
Hit me in the mouth, now I can't talk.
Overwhelmed in fear and pain,
I'm starting to act like a zombie.
Oh God, please, somebody tell me,
Where in the world is my mommy?
I felt the tears
Running down my face,
Here I am scared
In the same old place.
He's coming towards me,
I simply cannot breathe.
Will I die this time?
I certainly believe.
My heart is beating
Totally out of control.
Is this where it happens,
Is this where he gets my soul?
Will my heart just stop,
Or will it explode?
I can't take much more,
I'm already in complete overload.
If the fear doesn't
Do me in this time,
What will happen,
Will I lose my mind?
I've got to try
To stop him before I die!
Please, Daddy, I promise,
Please don't, I won't cry!
Daddy, please, it hurts,
Please, I beg you to stop!
I'll be a good boy this time,
Whether you believe me or not!
I'm trying so, so hard
To not cry any tears.
Please, Daddy, please,
It hurts, I can hardly hear!
Somebody stop him, please!
Oh look, now I'm starting to bleed!
I'm losing my mind now,
How could this possibly be?
I'm lying in the corner of the room
In a pool of blood.
What's wrong with me, please,
What in the world have I done?

Oh God, somebody please help me!
Where in the world is my mommy?
I've been kicked over and over,
Now it's impossible for me to walk.

Hit me in the mouth, now I can't talk.
Overwhelmed in fear and pain,
I'm starting to act like a zombie.
Oh God, please, somebody tell me,
Where in the world is my mommy?
