A child remembers a horrific incident that was instigated by child abuse

Speechless

©  Kyra Lee
My Name Is Sasha
My Sister Is Leigh
I am six
And she is three

Our dads always mad
He screams and he yells
I don’t think he likes us
It's Easy to tell

Mums only kind
When dads not around
And when he is home
She hardly makes a sound

Mums always out,
Never home
Dads always drunk,
And always alone

As soon as we hear
Those jingly keys
We run and hide
We run and plea

We find a place
And curl up tight
I hold her hand
And she holds mine

And soon enough
Dad then walks in
Don’t make a sound, don’t say a word
I pray inside, deep within

But Leigh, she cannot help herself
For the pain is just too much
"O-God" she yells
"Why are you so mean?"

He doesn't like what she has said
And beats her even more
And with one last hit
Hard and strong, he pulls away and watches

She takes one last Gasp of air
Our hands still holding
Then falls to the ground where I sat
And doesn't move a muscle

I stare at him
My eyes so blue
He looks at me
And yells "O you!"

"How dare you
Make me so mad
This is all your fault
Go cry be sad!"

My name is Sasha
My sister is Leigh
I am six
And my beautiful sister was only three

That day my Daddy
Murdered her
My best friend
She was my world

We stuck together
Through thick and thin
But now she’s gone
I’m lost within

When I was six my sister three
My Daddy murdered Leigh
Since that day I have not spoke
For it's speaking that made her die.

This story touched my heart the first time I read it. the first time I read this was at school. I have a sister, so when I read this I thanked god that our parents don't do this to us. I have cried every time I read this story.

in a way this story kind of reminds me of my life...I am abused.... I am scared that one day, he will kill me....

A very sad and touching poem. I just recently submitted a poem called "A Father's Love" about child abuse and how more often than not the perpetrator is someone known and who "should" be trusted. very, vary sad

this story is extremely painful to read. The sad part in this matter is that whether this story is true or not, we will never know. At this same time even if it's false, this story happens everyday in the world. If any of you guys out there can relate to this, don't let it get this far, call the police if you feel unsafe or afraid of someone, even if it's your own parent, sister, or brother. If you don't your situation will end up like this one. Save your life and someone else's, please because I know how scary it feels to be afraid of someone

I was just talking to my daughter. about my childhood, and the abuse I went through on a daily basis...the beatings, rapes, verbal abuse..being abandoned..the many days in Court...........all while trying to stay in school...
I was telling her tonight, I wish I could go to the President and help get a law passed on incest and child abuse...and to make the world more aware of it...it hurts....... it scars for life....

Reading this & the comments made it made me realize how truly blessed I am to have grown up & not have anything like this happen to me. I thank GOD daily that neither of my parents were ever abusive in anyway. To all of you who have & are still suffering I pray that the one who hurt you gets to feel even 1\10 of the pain you live with everyday.

This just makes me realize that I'm happy my parents aren't abusive but I wish I could do something about all the abusive parents. Call 911 on them, tell them your a abused. Seriously you can get help please do it.
