Little Girl Don'T Cry Poem by Kirstie Duekett

She walks in the front door,
She runs for her bedroom, she is so unsure.

She questions wether or not she was seen,
has she got to do anything else to make the house clean.

She comes out to cook her sister some dinner, keeping quiet even with the door,
her brother sees her, he goes for her and slams her to the floor.

She is taken to the back room,
She is made to take off her school costume.

She begins crying,
He asks her if she wants another beating.

She gets out trying to look strong,
she gets her sisters dinner and sings her a bed time song.

Her sister finally goes off to sleep,
she goes to check on her mum and takes a peep.

Her mother is out of it again,
and for tonight there is no new men.

The girl trys to sleep for a while,
thinks happy thourghts, maybe she will wake with a smile.

She wakes her little sister for school,
they leave before anyone wakes, as that is the rule.
