Why Me Mommy?
Oh mommy mommy, what did you do?
You not only took one auntie, now you take two.
I hurt truely and dearly, your too blind to see,
All of this broken heart bestowed upon me.
I came into this world, expecting to be,
A loving and nurturing place it should be.
I just don't understand, how you can't see,
A smart little girl and this is me.
I dream of gumdrops and ponies most every night,
Interupted by sounds of mommy and daddy into a fight.
It all seems so selfish, even I can see,
But what do I know? I'm not even three.
That's what they think, little do they know,
I'm tired of it all and I just want to grow.
I wish to be a happy little girl with a normal little life,
To grow up pretty and smart, and be the greatest wife.
I have the pretty and smart, right here in me,
A dashing little girl, take a look and you'll see.
Let me have my aunties, my nanny and my uncle B,
Let me have happiness with those so close to me.
Let me feel at one instead of ripped into two,
Everyone else has a heart, why can't you?
