The clock was ticking. I was staring at the wall as if it was an interesting piece of art and dozed off without realizing it . He was the best. I used to love him but not anymore. All it took was one moment to lose all the sanity and replace it with madness. I was 10 and Tania 5 thats when I first saw a monster. He was hitting my mother. She sobbed and cried screamed and pleaded for him to stop but he did not even slow down. I saw Tania coming out and I grabbed her and took her to her room and put in music and inserted the ear buds in her ears. Why does she take all the pain? Why can she not stand up for herself? Why is she so weak? Why does she let the monster hurt her? All she says is that it was to protect us. I never understand her but I always take her to my room after he is done and tend to her wounds. The way her face scrunches up and she winces when I put an ointment. It kills me but I can't do anything. She made me promise her to keep quite and never tell anyone about it. I used to cry every time making sure he doesn't see me. All I could do was protect Tania and making sure she never witnesses something so horrible. I can't do much except protect my sister from him and help my mother out. Shaking my head I realized my sheet was blank The question was written in bold
Write a poem on My Father
I took the pen and wrote
He breaks me every time
He is not mine
The monster who scares her at night
If only I had the might
Looking up at it
All I think of is
I don't have one.
With this written
I left the classroom .
