Abuse
i like the rain
becuase when you yell at me
and break my heart
i can go ouside
and no one ill notice im crying
when you yell at me
its everyday not only once
if i do one thing wrong
youll beat me until i regret every doing it
if i do something right
you reward me by not hitting me as hard
i have bruises on my arms
and my lefs
then strips on my back
made of blood
from the whips youll one day regret
i cant leve the house
or else people will ask questions
and my body cant handle that
i stay at home all day
cooking and cleaning
waiting for you to come home
i thought that after i gave you life
and took you in my home
went through everything with you
that you wouldnt treat me this way
why my son?
do you treat me this way
have i been a bad person
have i been a bad moher
was i not there long enough with you
i will be dying in a few hours
so i went outside
in the rain
and slowly died....crying
but no one will notice
becuase im crying in the rain
