My name is Misti-
I'm but only three.
My eyes are swollen shut,
I cannot see.
I will always remember,
the lessons I have learned,
Now I have bruises, and
from all the cigarette burns-
My name is Misti, and
I'm but only three.
Shhh....now...
I hear a car...
It's my dad-
drunk again-
coming home from Charlie's Bar.
My name is Misti, and
I'm but only three.
I hear the door-
my name is called,
I pray to God for the pain to stop,
As I squeeze myself,
up against the wall.
My name is Misti, and
I'm but only three.
Tonight God answered my prayer.
He made the pain go away.
My name is Misti, and
I'm But only Three-

I went searching for a sad poem to post along with something I wrote about a 3 year old who was murdered here in Las Vegas,Nevada by her mother. No one knew who she was for close to a month. They killed her then threw her body in a dumpster as if she were a piece of trash! It was her grandmother who lived in California who reported her missing, she hadn't heard from her daughter. I am very angry about people who abuse a child. I hope the mother rots in hell! This poem caught my eye, it's perfect and sad for how far some people go .

I have never felt like this before in my life. I really liked this poem,but i got angry at this so called father in the poem. If he was a good father he wouldn't kill his three year old child.

I want you to know I felt moved by this poem. I had a nephew who went through so much abuse with burns and beatings. This poem really made me cry. The first time I read it I had to print it and send it to alot of my family, because I felt this is what my two year old nephew really felt. Thank you for writeing this poem. It is sad, but it is true to far to many children.

this touched my heart and touched my soul. I was her as i read it, i waited for the sound of the door and i pushed my body in to the wall hoping it would be absorbed in to it. That night God saved her in the only way left she new how. She would have let him take her, and i only hope it was quickly. i was a bit older and i was just lucky that it was my turn to be saved.
