Dont pity me
When I needed your help you were never there for me
You were always in the pub that's where you always seem to be
You said money was short or that's what
Said
But you seem to have money for booze
But none for a loaf of bread
I never had a birthday party and presents
I never saw
Just the sight of both of you drinking in the pub once more
No blankets on my mattress that was on a
Wooden floor
Couldn't use the toilet at night because you
Locked my bedroom door
The beating I got used to because they happened everyday
I prayed for salvation and to be taken
Away
My praying was no good everything was in
Vain
Because I was born unwanted and unloved with a life full of pain.
But now I am older and I asked you about the things you did
Your reply was just as I expected you said
We were the adults and you were unwanted .
