Mum Why Do You Hurt Me

You put bars on my window 
You put locks on my door 
And when I yell and scream 
You throw me around the floor 
You hurt me when you feel like it 
You burn me when ur mad 
You tell me I’m a mistake when you’re feeling sad
You try to hide me away 
You try to hold me down 
And when I fight back 
You push me all around 
Ive taken hits in the head 
Broken ribs too 
But no matter how much you hurt me 
I will always love you 
When your old and frail 
And you need a helping hand 
Ask me and ill be there 
Your wish is my command 
But don’t you think I love you 
For the way you treat me now 
For I only love you 
Because your my family 
For ever and now.

Tracey, this is such a sad write that touched me deeply. I hope you did not personally have these experiences because no one should be treated like that. Excellent write. Hugs and warmest regards. Pandita
