My name is Hailey

my name is Hailey and I'm only twelve
last night my father beat me and it was like hell
as i screamed and showered in pain
i looked outside the window at the rain
wondering when is mammy coming home?
to see what this man has done to me
the next day at school i told me friends
and they told me to go tell
but i couldn't or otherwise
he might end up in jail
and then i came home just a little to late
and he started beating me as i wondered where is the hope where's the faith
when my mom came home that day
she had something on her mine she had to say
"i think its time we get a divorce"
but that only made things worse
i thought i was finally free
but he found this and wrote these last two lines for me:

my name is Hailey and I'm only 12
and last night my father murdered me.
