Hey Mum and Dad it hurts

It's another day at school
And he's just walking out the door
Got his ruck sack on his back
And his feet dragging on the floor

Always late, but when he's questioned
He can't think of what to say
Hows the bruises from the teacher
He's hoping that they go away

Even though his mom and dad
They both got problems of their own
Called a catch twenty two
But he'd still rather be at home

Crys himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up
Things might have changed
But everythings still the same

Everyday keeps on repeating
Like the record on replay
Slowly getting off the bus
With Johnny waiting at the gates

Like a friend smiling and waving
And called him out his name
Put his arm around his neck
Whats up now gimme all your change

Too afraid to make a scene
Or plead with him to let him go
He just takes whatevers coming
Feels the pain with every blow

But didn't you say
You always said that I should speak up
But it seems like all the things you said to me before
Mean nothing at all
Because...

I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school
But you never listen
Instead you always seen to end up blaming me for things I didn't do
I didn't even want to tell you anything
In-case it made things worse
Just so you know
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mum and Dad it hurts

This is a great song and so i thought I'd try to make it into a poem and submit it on here.
