I Was Enough
I wish someone told me earlier
that I was enough
that it isn't my fault
my father is a boozer
I wish someone told me earlier
that is not my fault
there is nothing
to eat in the house
and it's not my fault
that I don't wear nice clothes
I truly am sorry
if my poverty offered You
I just wish someone told me earlier
despite all of this
I was enough
I would not believe then
that you do me favour
by picking on me
That it's your right
to bully me and call me names
I would not mistake
cruelty for affection
