What could of happened

My name is Jody,
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,

I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.

When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One hitting tonight.

I don't make a sound,
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From his local Bar.

I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.

I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.

He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my day continues
With more bad words spoken...

The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!

"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.

I must be stupid
I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?

And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.

my soul standing on the rooftops,
yelling for help,
my mommy finally comes to save me,
to the hospital she takes me,

My name is Jody,
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy could of
Murdered me.
