Somewhere Safe

Awaken by the screams

From the living room they came

I hopped out of bed

As my mother called my name

She asked me as I wiped my eyes

To call 911 and hurry

I ran as fast as I could to the phone

But my eyes were still blurry

I tried to find the nine and one

And then my eyes cleared

So then I called them as fast as possible

And told them what I feared

"My step-dad and mom are fighting

Please send a policeman"

Then they told me, "Get in a room

As fast as you can!"

I hung up the phone

And jumped on my bed

Then I had my brother

Pull the sheet over our heads

The cops finally came

And took us somewhere safe

And we've been at Nanny Debbie's ever since

We're so glad they took us from that awful place
