Paul White Poet Rhyme

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 .
