Another Night
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
