Abused

Being a child of isolation Nothing looking forward too. Fat and ugly no one liked Hitting going on more than once Like a black and broozed eye Was worse on my thigh Going home was my worse fear Afraid of what would appear Whips and branches hard as steal The worst thing was the doctor bill Growing up with no one there Had no mother that would care Two kids was a delight I learned if you want to get by You have to fight
