Anna's POV

I vaguely remember a father.
One that screamed, yelled, cursed.
Flung bottles around, here and there.
Knocked around furniture.
Knocked around momma, like furniture.
But sometimes he was nice.
He'd give me toys.
Candy, chocolate, a Kite.
One day he never came back.
"Momma?" I puzzled,
I was only seven. My mother still loved me then.
She tried to change.
Tried. Not really. But she was better.
'Momma?" I tried again.
This time she looked up from the table.
Tears streaming her face,
Like rivers of pain.
"Where's daddy?" I asked. Shy.
"He's dead! Dead! God took him from me!
Not that he was any good...
But he was all I had! Your daddy's dead!"
She screamed.
That was when,
Her hate for me,
Really began.
