This was me THEN

by Just a Gurl   May 20, 2008


What do you do when youre raised by an unfit mother?
when she's supposed to care for you your raising your sister and brother
your clothes are old
your feet are cold
not washed for weeks
nappy as can be
were words used to describe your hair
you were left at strangers houses
no one seemed to care
your dad is never there
she leaves you home alone
with men she's only known...
for a day or two
they touch you wrong
and take away your clothes
they say its only play, its alright its okay,
and to do what grown-ups say
but when you tell your mother
she just yells go away tell me later
after that you never thought you would grow up to hate her
