silent prayers
Angel
I lived my life by what was given to me,
but it was never much to last long.
my brother and I hid from people everywhere,
tried to hide from pain as we ran into it.
we always had a mother just never a father,
she switched from man to man onto another.
I always prayed for a better life and father,
they were always silent prayers I never let her know.
she married one day and almost died another,
my step-father said her loved her by hitting her daily.
she always told everyone she loved her two kids,
she loved them enough to let them be abused and watch.
I prayed for a new family and for someone to love,
and I kept it silent and no one ever knew my thoughts.
one unlucky day this man tried to force himself on me,
and mother would believe him over me when told.
I was a liar and a home wrecker they said,
I prayed my silent prayers to stop the wrenching hurt,
God was the only one who heard my prayers,
then he answered them.
