A woman four months pregnant

Decides to tell her husband

With guilt from past abortions

Another she can’t stand



When daddy finally hears

He has another baby boy

Mommy falls down the stairs

And daddy has no joy



There’s a new baby boy

Joining this joyful world

Daddy likes him now

And mommy wants a girl



Daddy’s raising the perfect son

But it’s mommies little boy

Big brother fades away

Mommy just avoids



Little boy does what he likes

Daddy has a belt

“Didn’t mean to do it son”

Not the way it felt



Family filled with fear

Torn from the abuse

Can’t accept apologies

But nothing left to choose



Many years filled with abuse

Fourteen all the same

Cancer in the family

Daddies turn to pay



Life becomes a blur

Teased with no more pain

Feel no more control

And nothing left to gain.
