Shush! Be quiet, don’t say a word!
I hear him coming you might be heard
I know you’re frightened, I know you’re scared
But I got to keep us safe from this man that we fear
Why he’s chasing us I do not know
But I can’t let him touch you anymore
You’re my little sister, I’ll protect you for sure
I have to save you from the pain I’ve endured
I was once his plaything, when mama was gone
But now that I’m older he has moved on
I see how he looks at you, the same way he did me
Why can’t he go away and just let us be!
I am your big sister, for you I will kill
I know he’s much stronger but I have to try still
If he comes any closer, I swear I will shoot
My hands are so shaky; the gun taking root
Please God don’t let him find us
Let this nightmare please end
Help me find the strength
from deep down within
Sometimes I would wonder if our mother knows
or do she pretend when her bedroom door’s close
Well if she won’t protect us then I have to I guess
I’m tired of living my life in distress
Oh no, I think he sees us, he’s coming this way!
My heart is a pounding; my body’s a sway
I will not faint, she’s depending on me
Although I’m only 12 years old,
she has no one else you see
My body is trembling; I can no longer hear
Everything’s moving in slow motion as I let way to tears
I see his face so clearly his anger is apparent
I want to pull the trigger so bad I can barely stand it!
POW!! A shot went off, then one more after the other
I opened my eyes and see his body,
and then I see our mother
She’s standing over his lifeless body,
holding a gun still smoking
I'm so glad to see her standing there,
I’m crying so hard that I’m choking
My sister and I are so relieved
how much you will never know it
For our mother loves us after all
and she has finally shown it
But will we ever have a normal life
After what we’ve all been through?
Will we triumph despite it all
And start our lives anew? Copyright © 2008
