POPPA
I am standing
Charlotte is screaming
Poppa is hollering at Charlotte
Charlotte doesn’t hear
Mama is crying at Poppa
I am standing still
Trying not to break
Just standing
Just being there
There is nothing I can do
Is there anything I can do?
I try to find a safe place
Poppa is keeping Charlotte from
It has happened before
Charlotte gets upset
Poppa get mad
At his daughter
Poppa doesn’t like it
When Charlotte is upset
When Charlotte is herself
Cause Poppa is not like other Poppas
He is proud of that
He is proud
Of hating Charlotte
And me
I am too
It is real hard to hate you daughters
You must always be
Proud of hard things
