Mommy, please don't cry, don't try to hide away and say all those lies.
Don't let daddy hurt you and never tell you why.
Mommy, please don't cry.
Daddy, daddy why can't you listen, don't you know what you’re missing?
Mommy can't breath and you can't see.
Get out of here and don't let her be just like me.
The tears on her face aren't so hard to trace to the path where they came from.
Mommy, mommy, it’s not your fault.
Daddy's just a piece of salt.
He just won't stop yelling, and all he is doing is failing.
Daddy's so blind and is not so kind.
His mind, we just can't find.
Please tell me why we're such a mess.
Is this life some kind of a test?

The tears on her face

this is a pretty decent poem you have here. i just feel that some of the lines didn't quite fit, and even seemed like they were put in just to conform the ryhme. i don't get what it means either when it says, "daddy is just a piece of salt."
other than that, i really like how the poem is in the view of a child. it puts a deeper perspective on this.
good job.
