Mommie

Mommie Mommie, I was born just hours ago You looked at me My eyes were barely open and could see your face You were happy for a moment Then your look changed to hatred What could I have done in such a short time? Was I that bad of a child that you despised me? I know I cried Calling for your love for just a moment But you would not let me look into your eyes Now, I lay into the cold winter's winds There are no blankets to keep me warm Rotting food surrounds me I am too young to survive on it I cry harder than I ever had before Yet, no one hears me or no one cares Half of my life I have been alone Something no baby should ever feel Tonight will be my first night Tonight will be my last night I never even had the chance to be held Never had the chance to smile Never had to chance to be love I just have the chance to die
