Mummy, Why?

by Amy   Jun 17, 2004


Why do you hate me
is it my hair?
Is it the way i look at you
do u hate it when i stare

Why do i make you sick?
i don't understand
why you pull away
when i try to hold your hand

Why do you yell
when i touch your stuff?
i just wanna be pretty like you
is that too much

Why am i bad girl?
mummy tell me why
why do you say
i deserve to die

Why cant i sit with the family
when your all eating meals
I'm so thin and hungry
do you know how that feels?

Why do you hit me
I'm a b!tch, thats what you say
the cold, hard floor is my bed
where i lay

Why does daddy touch me
in the middle of the night
and why does he hit me
when i put up a fight

Why aren't i allowed
to go to school
you say its not worth it
that I'm just a hopeless fool

Why cant i have friends?
i really try and be good
i do what I'm told
and do what i should

I never said a word
when that nice lady came around
because of a neighbour
my bruises she found

She spoke in a soft voice
and asked me if things were ok
i lied for you mummy
were you proud of me that day?

Why did things get worse
from that moment on
i don't understand
what i did wrong

Why do you lock me
away in a room
for days at a time
i think ill die soon

Why do when i look
into your eyes
all i see is hate
it makes my hope die

I'm your little girl
why cant you see
how much the things u do
are hurting me

And why cant you love me?
do you hate me that much
I'm scared of you now
I'm scared of daddy's touch

I really try my best
why cant i make you proud
am i ugly?
am i too loud?

Mummy i love you
I'm sorry that I'm bad
But please mummy stop
i always feel so sad

I need you too love me
I need you to care
mummy it hurts
when your never there

What can i do?
Is this my fate?
don't hurt me anymore
I'm only eight
