16 scars
November 4, 2014
I tried and failed and feiled again
to be the daughter they wanted
We wanted to be loved but,
each day they hated us more.
One day when it was 6-8-9,
we did our biddign wrong.
The y took the cord,
so hot, fierce, and angry.
He beat us down
with cuts and blood.
16's my number
half was my pain.
8 was my punishment
their's 6 and 9
Yell as i might.
No one heard a thing
16's my number
16 are my scars
