When you are gone

Please daddy stop it,
I really don’t understand
Why everytime I speak,
Do you shout and raise your hand?

Why are you crying mummy?
Its me he’s hitting, not you
Please mummy stop him
Isnt there anything you can do?

I thought you loved me mum,
But why do you let him do this to me?
Why do you pretend to everyone
Like were as happy as can be?

He dosent do it to chris,
So why is it me who always get hit?
Cant you see your hurting me,
Breaking my heart bit by bit?

I try so hard to please you,
To try and make you proud
But when I do anything
You just shout really loud.

Do you think I will forget this
In the years to come?
So when your old and your dying,
Do you think im going to come?

To say goodbye,
Well I tell you im not
Because I hate you so much,
I hate you with everything ive got.

So when the time comes,
You can call your ‘perfect’ son.
Because I will never forgive you
After everything you have done.
