dear mr. Police man,

I went to school today and my teacher saw my bruises so she called you and you gave me a smile. my mommy never smiles at me.

Dear Mr. Police man,

You came to my house today in your big car with its cool flashing red and blue lights. My daddy was high again and my Mommy was hitting. You smiled at me again and made my daddy leave. All though my mommy didn’t stop hitting I slept not scared last night because there was no hand to touch me.

Dear Mr. Police man,

You came to my house again today just like many other days. You asked me if my daddy touched me but I lied to you. My dirty was too much to show. But even though I think you knew I was lying you still smiled at me. My life is filling up with your smiles.

Dear Mr. Police man

I saw you again today. I was strung out in the park. All though you knew I was holding you still smiled at me as you drove by.

Dear Mr. Police man,

I am much, much older now and you are standing close beside me. Once again with a smile you looked at me. I told you the truth this time about my Dad and you took him away.
