Grief Poems
Only 8
Written by Jessica Cleneay

I wrote this because of all the little kids who don't get a chance to live their life to the fullest.

Why does Daddy beat me
I am only 8, what could I have done
Why does Mommy not stop him
Does she care or is she too scared
Does Daddy hate me, what did I do
Every night Daddy goes out
Coming home so late
I try to hide but he always finds me
I see all this hate in his eyes
And all I can do is cry
As he beats me like I am his punching bag
But tonight Daddy seems very mad
And he don't stop hitting me
My breath starts to shorten
The lights start to fade
As I lay in this corner
Wondering what I did
I mean what can an 8-year-old do that is so bad
That would want to make her daddy beat her to death

This is a poem written in memory of Justin Boos who was killed May 2003 in a motorcycle accident. Justin and I were friends for a long time and the word of his death came as a shock to me, because I had seen him just two hours before that.
