You Know I'M Only Two

You Know I'm Only Two A Poem by Debbie_Philly " This is a piece I was asked to do a long time ago about child abuse..... its not my best because I was rhyming all the time back then.... but I tried ;) " You Know I’m just Two Mommy what’s the matter? What did I do wrong? Was I singing to loud? While I was humming a song. Daddy what did I do ? Can I fix it for you? I didn't mean to break it. You know I’m only two Shut up you brat You make me sick mommy don’t say that I’ll show you a trick. Daddy please don’t hit me I wont do it again. The cup on the table was to close to the edge Mommy don’t lock me away in my room where it’s dark. Cant you and daddy see that you’re breaking my heart You know I’m just a baby please lower your tone I only repeat what I see what I learn in my home Mommy please hold me tight all I want is your love. Instead all I get is a huff and a shove. Oh I really did it now Daddy’s getting the belt He hit me so hard that I can’t cry for help All I see now is dark why did I have to die I loved you so much and I really did try. all I needed was love that’s all you had to do Why wouldn’t you see that You knew I was just two By : Debbie Kelly I was asked to write about Child abuse about 6 years ago

Not your best? And because of rhyming? Nonsense... I thought it was fantastic. I could suggest a couple minor things, like "Did you not like my song?" instead of "while i was humming a song" and "wanna see a trick?" instead of "I'll show you a trick." other than that it sounds natural good job
