Another late night

Full of fright

I’m laying here crying in pain

While mommy’s here screaming my name

This thing you call “home” I don’t believe in

No bed, no blankets

Not even parents to help me through the night.

Bruises covering me from head to toe

Mommy doesn’t appreciate me, she told me so

I’m just a burden, nothing more, nothing less

The scars still throb leaving me to remember I’m still alive,

in this hopeless mess.

I was young and cute in the beginning

I was a mistake in the end, that I wish never began.

Can’t leave the house to socialize

Couldn’t even receive one friend

Every bit of happiness I had left is being drained

Being tormented, I’m getting tired of playing this game.

Every child should smile, have no reason to cry

But it seems like I’m the reason for this pain I feel inside.

When I was 4

I didn’t think that things would get this hard

When life gets tough you could just run to your teddy bear

But he can’t help

Goodbye mommy, goodbye teddy bear.

Hello world, the place where I wish I could disappear

The one place full of despair
