My name is Alyssa
I am only seven
I am very smart
But I'll never make it to age eleven.
My new friend Asuka
Will be so sad
When I am gone
Thanks to my dad
Mommy hates me
I know Daddy does, too
Or else he wouldn't hurt me
Don't try to tell me it's not true
As I write these words,
I am not afraid to die.
Although I know when dad gets home
Not only will he try,
He will succeed in killing me.
But know my death will not be in vain.
People worldwide will know my story,
They'll know my pain.
I hear a car
My heart is pounding
Dad's back from the bar
And now I must leave
To see the end
Remember my name and in God always believe
My name is Alyssa
I am only seven
Tonight is the night
I join God in heaven.
-Alyssa Reedy
P.S.: Asuka, I'll miss you and will see you in heaven soon!
