Why
Go away leave me be
I am just a kid
Why are you beating me?
Why all the yelling, screaming and fussing
why the slaps, pushes and punches.
Why do you hurt your own flesh and blood
God gave me to you to love.
Why do you inflict pain on a child?
What part of your brain makes you think that's right
To hurt a child whom you gave life.
Do you think God gave me to you
Just so you could have someone to abuse?
I don't understand no matter how hard I try
So I continue asking God
Why I had this life?
I don't have the answers,
I don't have a clue,
But you are my parent
and I truly love you.
So I will take the pain and abuse
in hopes one day you will see,
This was not what God intended
for a child's life to be.
