The Step-father
He’s there again
Watching you as you sleep
You can sense him
You move slightly
Oh no
He knows you’re awake
You try to run
But as always you can’t
You know what he wants
You also know this time is going to be different
He’s just standing there
Waiting
Staring
You can tell that he’s becoming impatient with you
Inwardly you smile
You know you must act quickly
There are a million thoughts running through your head
You think of the gun
You stole from your dad
That resides in a box
Under your bed
You sense by now he is very impatient
Soon he will resort to force
But no
You can’t let it happen again
It’s not right
He doesn’t have the right
You told your mother he was bad news
She didn’t listen
She never listened
She only saw HIM!
The perfect man
A great guy
Yeah right!
You’ve seen the real him
He doesn’t really love your mother
