Story of Lolita; The Abusing Father

I'm closer to home
as I hear him shout
I see the door open
and he walks out
he pulls me in the house
and chucks me to the floor
his can hits my head
"what you crying about baby"
"you'll be fine"
I run to my room
and I feel his feet stamp
he opens my door
i can see it in his face
he picks me up
and throws me about the place
i can't take this no more
somebody help me
Help me to stop him
please help me
stop him, stop him
from hurting me.....
