...daddy...why...?

Of course they didn't believe me Who would believe that? Soon the police came round to my house On my sofa they sat They asked me lots of questions I just sat in silence Then they got the picture Of my fathers violence When the police left my house They took my daddy too He said 'I'll get you' as he left But who exactly was 'you'? My daddy was on the loose He'd been let out on bail The mean old man should be locked up in jail Thats what aunty Susan said I didn't want to believe her But daddy you left me no choice Daddy do you think its right I'm writing this sat on a cloud? Do you think its right mummy has to suffer? Do you think its right im in heaven at the age of 9? One night I was stood at my door Watching you You saw me. . . You told me to tell nobody So nobody I told You said I'd get hurt too But why, I was good as gold I'd always been a good girl Done as what was right But now I had to lie Or else I'd too be in an unfair fight I kept silent for days He didn't believe me He said 'I deserved it' And that I should be greatful it was free I went to school and got asked What the marks were on my arm I had to say at the weekend We went to visit a farm I was laid awake at night Listening to the shouting Then I peeped out of my door I realised they were fighting But yet again it was unfair Daddy had control He was hurting mummy again Surely that was not his goal I stood and stared, watched him I didn't know what to do So I stood and gazed in shock Thinking 'daddy thats not you' I was only young , I just didn't get it Why were you hurting mummy? Why were you doing this daddy? Daddy I grew older And with my age came wisdom I knew what you were doing was wrong by now But why hurt MY mum? I don't daddy . . . why?
