My name is Misty
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see,
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
I must be stupid,
I must be bad,
What else could have
Made my daddy so mad?
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
I wish I were better
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my mommy
Would still want to hug me.
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
I can't speak at all,
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long.
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
When I awake I'm all alone
The house is dark
My folks aren't home
When my mommy does come
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.
Don't make a sound,
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall
I try and hide
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry
He finds me weeping
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
He shouts ugly words,
He says it's my fault
That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!" I scream
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
But it's now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate
The hurt and the pain
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor
My name is Misty
![](dvpages/mynameismistybutterflies.gif)
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy murdered me.
