Camp was normal... Well normal as could be for the seven of the prophecy. That day, everyone was sitting, Chiron was talking to the crowd of campers.
"-and today... Oww!" A book had fell from the sky and had landed on the trainers head.
"Hey! It's a book!" Travis Stoll called out. Everyone laughed at how obvious that was. Just on the front page a note was taped down. Chiron pulled it off and read.
"Dear demigods,
Today you and the gods will read about how hard some demigods have it. The gods will be here in 3... 2... 1-"
"WTF!"
"why are we here!" Numerous things were shouted out as the surprised gods gazed upon there camp.
"The fates have decreed you here to read a poem"- Chiron started.
"well than, let's begin," Athena shouted. She snatched the book out of Chiron's hands.
"the terrible poems of demigods"
"spooky," Connor drawled. People laughed again.
My name is Sarah
"common name," Hazel noted.
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed.
I must be stupid I must be bad,
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?
Everyone gazed at the book sadly.
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Hazel understood the girl.
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.
Hazel looked as though she would cry.
I can't speak at all I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed.
When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home.
When my mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight
Everyone glared at the book
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My mommy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear her curse
My name she calls
I press myself
Against the wall.
I try and hide
From her evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm sradishing to cry.
She finds me weeping
She shouts ugly words
She says its my fault
That she suffers at work.
She slaps me and hits me
People started to cry.
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
She's already locked it
And I sradish to bawl,
She takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
Everyone was screaming.
"Silence," Zeus roared bringing back everyone's attention.
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my mommy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!", I scream
But its now much too late
Her face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
The gods winced.
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my mommy,
Murdered me.
Everyone was silent. Hazel started to sob into Franks chest. And for the first time the gods felt guilty.
Hey guys, this was a child abuse poem I found online.
