Hush, little sister
Please don't cry
I wish I could be there
To sing you a lullaby
...

We are three sisters
Three sisters are we
I love each of you,
And I know you love me
...

Thank you...
For standing by me through thick
and thin
For not giving up on me when I
...

I dont like to sit upon your lap
and cuddle close to you.
I dont like it when you touch me
and do the things you do.
...

Our world is nothing, dont you see
There's people with money, and there's people like me
My life has never been anything or made me proud to see
Everyday there's more troubles for me to carry around
...

Why do you go around living this dreadful lie
Everytime I see you like this it makes me want to cry
Why do you walk around tryna hide all the hurt,
Then when you explode in anger, you treat us all like dirt
...

A dad is someone you can count on,
Someone's who's always there.
Someone who listens to you when you talk,
Who knows you when your lying,
...

What happened to equal justice?
What happened to being fair?
Im sitting here wondering if you people even care.
We both did wrong, but all he gets is a slap on the wrist, while I'm sitting here in this dark cell shivering from the mist.

Im sorry for leaving you alone in the world with on shelter from the storm and rain, surrounding you with all the pain.
Im sorry I pushed you away knowing you wanted to stay.
Im sorry, but I had to get out, so do what you feel. Go ahead, scream and shout.
I love you dearly, but dont come near because there is something I fear.
...

He came into my life
when I was just a little girl
I was happy and young
And then he changed my world
...

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
...

sing until your heart gives out
that's what they all say
but what is left after that
if the music takes it all away?
...

Mother is there when I get home from school,
I'm happy there, hyper and playing the fool.
But as I pull on the handle and turn the key,
I feel a sense of dread and fear fill me.
...

The frigerator is full of beer,
And the couch is full of crumbs.
I go to bed and in my head,
I just know he's going to come.
...

18.

As I'm sitting here with my mind in a daze,
Im wondering is this the day that i should die or just fly high
and keep fighting off these huge boulders sitting on my shoulders.
What do you do when someone you love is hurting you,
...

im sick of pretending its all perfect, tired of living a lie; sick of loving you, tired of the tears i cry. im sick of giving you my love
tired of getting nothing in return; sick of all these other girl, tired of being unable to learn. im sick of running back to you tired of returning hurt; sick of your stupid act, tired of being treated like dirt
sick of living this life, tired of being blue,
sick of thoughts about giving up, tired of the stupid things i do to try to get close to you
...

The Best Poem Of octavia wilson

Hush Little Sister

Hush, little sister
Please don't cry
I wish I could be there
To sing you a lullaby
I can see your arms
Bloodied and bruised
That's strange, little sister
Mine were like that too
I know you scream
When Daddy's there
Hush, little sister
I know you're scared
I can see the way
He's hurting you
I'm sorry, little sister
He did that to me too
I know that people
Ignore what's going on at home
That makes me angry, little sister
You shouldn't have to be alone
Hey, little sister
You want to know why I'm not there?
It's a sad story, little sister
But people should care
You see, little sister
One day Daddy got high
You were asleep in your crib
So you didn't hear my cry
He screamed at me
And smashed my head against the door
While you slept, little sister
I died on the floor
You know, little sister
I don't think that I would have died
If someone had only bothered
To listen to my cries
But hush, little sister
Daddy's coming home
Quick, get into bed
You don't want him to find you alone
I'm sorry little sister
He's in a bad mood
Run while you can
Uh oh little sister
He's lifting his belt
Scream while you can, little sister
Call for help
Hush little sister
You don't need to cry
No one can hurt you
