The “man” Who Called Himself “Dad”

You kicked her belly

repeatedly

after you knocked

her out.

Cramming a

wooden broom handle

in her vagina,

“IS THIS HELL?”

wanting to kill me

screaming and shouting

trying to FORCE

me out.

But I held on

to the beat

of my own

heart.

You gave me the

name

“Carla” Strong Woman,

that I AM!!!

Hear me Roar

I am Wise

No need to shout.

Peace

CJ Electra
