LIZA**poem**

Liza
Hiding in a closet full of clothes
A place where daddy doesn’t know
I hear my daddy turn of his car
I know he just got back form the bar
And tonight, nothing will be alright
Knowing we will have a fight
Running nowhere, but to my room
Fearing my dad will make me dead
I heard the front door go Boom
So I huddled under covers on my bed
“Liza!” he said, screaming my name
And I know it had started
Nothing will ever be the same
Leaving me empty-hearted
“Liza!” he yelled over again
As he drew near to my room
What will it take to stop this pain?
My youth will never bloom!
“Liza,” he whispered as he opened my door
“Liza my child, it’s alright.”
But what could I do when he threw me to the floor
I was so helpless that night
“Daddy,” I cried hoping he didn’t know.
“Daddy?” I said, but he looked so mad.
Nothing could stop the blood flow
As I screamed, “YOU’RE NOT MY DAD!”
That sis me in for the rest of the night
He knocked me out cold so I couldn’t fight
“Liza,” he whispered as he drew near
I shaked and trembled at what I was about to hear
“Liza,” he said, “There’s nothing left to fear!”
Daddy’s gone sober and it’s almost noon
Three more hours left before he leaves again
I know he will be going to the bar soon
Tonight, I will feel the pain
Daddy’s gone now and there’s nothing left to do
SO I packed some clothes and left a note
Stating what was true
I left my dad’s and called a cab
I don’t want to be home tonight
I guess all I can say
I left home because of fright
