Monster In the House

I could never understand how she could allow him to abuse us everyday. Break broom/mopsticks over our body. Inflicting such great pain that the abuse became the norm. An everyday torment of blood mixed with screams and fear I don't understand how we could beg her to please take us with her when the monster became upset Only for her to grab her keys look down at us and say I can't She returning home to her young now battered and bloody because the monster had a bad day Her defenseless young souls had no strength to shield their flesh from the wrath of this predator He is the hands that feeds her and maintains her lifestyle She didn't want to give that up to defend her seeds Each day was filled with fear of dying Fear of wanting to tell but afraid to be separated from the others by the state So you take the abuse One year passes by Seven years Then Ten years pass by You leave And something happens in your life that causes you to have no other possible option but to return to your past Return to bad memories praying that the monster has changed But you soon find out that he remains the same You leave as soon as you arrived and now free from the hell of this demon You pray and pray and pray that God will one day allow this lifetime of pain to heal and disappear from your memory Even though this monster remains to be a ruthless beast You pray to God that he may help you forgive Always remember that being kind will result in you staying on top For those doing wrong they have to continue looking over their shoulders Each day trying to cover up their cruel intentions Yet in due time they will reap what they sow So don't return evil for evil Don't stoop to their level Remain calm and just You will only win in the end if you do so because everything both good and bad comes to light
