Abused
You want to know about abuse?
Then I will tell you about me.
Battered, spat on for all to see.
Kicked and jumped on, thrown about,
Hardly ever a day without a clout.
hurled at the wall in temper or fun,
and my day had hardly begun
Watched with gleeas I slid to the floor,
Screamed at by all those wanting more.
Punched without mercy, it never let up.
Drenched by hot liquid poured from a cup.
Finally left in the corner, bedraggled, forlorn,
Dirty and neglected after all their scorn.
If I have a choice after being so put on,
I'm not coming back as another cushion!
Keeping an eye on our dogs now!
