Birthday Warning!

A cold autumn morning, new rains have arrived today not so ordinary A little girls birthday goes by she had an accident she awoke in her bed wet today she is six, a present she did not expect A day without the jug cord would be her birthday wish Her hope is soon faded, for there her mother stood, A birthday beating just begun- her mothers' way of a little fun "you dirty little b!#@h"! I'm sick of washing your sheets this will fix you...and fix you good till you're black and blue ...or till I'll make you bleed"! Happy Birthday to me... through aches and tears I am happy I survived to date six years alone in her closet she'd make this her car travel to far away happy lands go shopping for a star once she bet the jug cord she collected up the sheets took her mums' old coal shovel buried them under the house darkest corner beneath, her father gave her sixpence every time she was dry, or if she wet, he'd make her wetter he'd put her in a cold bath the little girl would trick him, moving the sheets about her mother would come in the room catch the little girl out the little girl did such things out of fear she lied the little girl was in a place she was trying to survive she adapted to her father she adapted to her mother though difficult it was it affected everything looking back the way she was she changed her life completely eradicated the fear her life gets better and better year after year her mum and dad to this day the little girl forgave she understands the way they were a woman she has grown forgiving to her grave she struggles on her birthday preferring to enjoy her spirit accepts what happened on that day the present she avoids
