Black and Blue

You worked,

A twelve hour shift,

Your tired,

Stressed,

Hungry,

You open the door,

And she stands before you,

Look at her! innocent face,

And you think disgrace;

But dinner isn't ready,

You raise your hand,

In anger,

Strike her face,

Violence that puts,

Her into tears,

Her fears come true,

In shades of black and blue.
