A Child's Story

Look into a Child's eyes,
See what they go through.
Everyday and every night is like a nightmare they can't wake up from.
I come home with a bad grade and get a lecture.
He comes home and gets a punch in the face.
I cry over a relationship that ended.
He cries because his father came home drunk last night...again.
The sun shines bright everyday for Me.
For him, the sun hides in fear behind dark clouds.
My father calls me his pride and joy.
His father calls him a damned child and is blamed for everything.
A child can tell a story without words....
