You said you never wanted me. My birth was a mistake. You tried to give me away, but no one would help. . At 10 you left me with strangers, then with HIM. You never came to get me, like you said you would. . The police called and told you, "Come and get your kids" You took me home and blamed me when it happened again. . At twelve, you chose another time, to get rid of me You said "Too many others. I need to care for them." . I went to live with strangers who blamed me for the abuse, and constantly reminded me that mother didn't care. . At 16 when I came home you forced me to quit school While you went out to work, I stayed home with your kids. . I worked real hard to get your love, but nothing that I did was good enough and "it was all my fault." . At 18, you found a new way to push me away You pushed me into marriage with a man I didn't know. . Always trying for your love, I could never measure up. I sacrificed myself to the devil and the devil was Mom's love. |
