Dear Fear

DEAR FEAR

Dear Mr. Fear,

oh, where do I start?

Please grant me answers,

I'm awfully torn apart.

Why does Daddy hit me?

this I need to know.

Even when i'm well behaved,

a punch is what he throws.

Why does Mummy call me names?

won't even look me in the eye.

I tuck myself in bed at night,

and I quietly start to cry.

My eyes are coloured black,

My body different tones.

Pelted with all foreign objects,

I need help but no one knows.

My lips are painted red,

if I speak without their say.

I live in silence with their violence,

too afraid to run away.

Mummy and Daddy are mad at me,

but why? I need to know.

I really do love both my parents but...

DEAR FEAR IT'S TIME I GO.
