Please Mommy

You just don't learn your lesson.
What does it take?
He hit you once, he'll hit you again.
Why wait until you break?

You're worth more than scrapes and bruises.
Don't sit back and take it.
You're better than this, Mommy can't you see?
Don't you dare take one more hit.

You let your children grow up under his example.
Stand for once, stop cowering in fear.
Don't do let him hurt you anymore.
It's happened year after year.

Please, keep yourself from the blood and broken bones.
Give what you're getting and more.
Let my love give you strength.
Never again let him hit you, yelling "Whore!"

Please Mommy,
I don't like seeing you so blue.
Please Mommy,
I love you.
