Mommy, Come Home
Waiting for Mommy to come home
To rescue us
From this monster
Who screams at us, demands attention
Rips down our self-confidence and walls
Leaves us bruised, scarred, and terrified
Who makes home not a safe place to be
Our Daddy
Hiding here in the dark
Praying he won't find us
Where are you
Mommy, why won't you come home
