A Hiding Child
Sniffles,
 Cries,
 Whimpers,
 A hidden child.
 Hiding 
 Out of fear.
 Shouts and crashes reach her ears.
 They're fighting again.
 So she hides.
 Hides from the pain,
 From the fear,
 From her parents.
 Cowering low covering her ears,
 So she won't hear Daddy hit Mommy,
 So she won't hear mommy cry.
 She won't come out, 
 Until it's over.
 Until Daddy leaves again.
 So she stays hidden. 
 A hiding child.
