Saving Poem by Verona Valentine

The outside is too dark
Even if I see the stars
Why don’t you come and save me?
Where are you, Mommy?

The big scary man laughed
He ripped my pretty dress
He pinned me to the ground
Said I wasn’t Daddy’s princess

He’s hurting me now
Over and over and over again
I’m begging him to stop
He doesn’t listen and gave me more pain

Daddy! Daddy! I called
Help me! Help me! I cried
I’m so young and I’m so cold
I couldn’t get away even if I tried

The big scary man pulled a knife
He punched me hard and cut me
I screamed when the knife scarred my face
I screamed for Mommy and Daddy

He thought I was dead and left me
I was left lying on the ground
I can’t talk anymore so I bled and cried
I prayed to God so I’ll be found

Mom and Dad said they loved me
They said God did too
They said my guardian angel will protect me
So, my angel, where are you?
