Array ( [sid] => 42573 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => legacy of abuse [time] => 2004-04-10 07:37:01 [hometext] => this is poem about abuse from experience [bodytext] => The legacy of abuse

What have I done wrong, that you have beeten me so bad
Why must you torture me mommy, because of the terrible childhood that you had
Why must you destroy my life and my ability to dream
Mommy I’m only a child, but to you I’m worthless it seems
Mommy why do you insist on battle , when you know I’m far too weak to fight
Mommy I can’t sleep, because of the pain you caused with all your might
I want to go out mommy, my imagination so curious
But not at the expence, of your anger getting furious
Mommy why must you hurt me, why must this be
Mommy I need to be happy, I need the abuse to bee set free
Mommy have you ever thought, why my tears wake you up at night
Your older than me mommy, but surely this cannot be right
Mommy I want to be like other kids I wan to go out and play
But no you treat me like some animal you choose where I’m suppose to stay
Why can’t you love me like you’ve loved me before
Carry on like this and to you I’ll be no more

The legacy of abuse

What have I done wrong, that you have beeten me so bad
Why must you torture me mommy, because of the terrible childhood that you had
Why must you destroy my life and my ability to dream
Mommy I’m only a child, but to you I’m worthless it seems
Mommy why do you insist on battle , when you know I’m far too weak to fight
Mommy I can’t sleep, because of the pain you caused with all your might
I want to go out mommy, my imagination so curious
But not at the expence, of your anger getting furious
Mommy why must you hurt me, why must this be
Mommy I need to be happy, I need the abuse to bee set free
Mommy have you ever thought, why my tears wake you up at night
Your older than me mommy, but surely this cannot be right
Mommy I want to be like other kids I wan to go out and play
But no you treat me like some animal you choose where I’m suppose to stay
Why can’t you love me like you’ve loved me before
Carry on like this and to you I’ll be no more
