When Big People Are Bad
What a beautiful little girl she was
The day she was born
Blond hair, blue eyes , fair skin
And a Heart that would be torn.
A child's life can be a tough one
When big people are bad
They get away with many things
That makes little girls sad.
They mess with your mind
And say it's your fault
They tell you to keep it quite
And lock it up in the vault.
When she finally gets the strength
To let it all come out
She waits for the right moment
She so much wants to shout!
"You've ruined my life,
You've messed with my head
Now all that I wish for
p*ss THAT YOU WERE DEAD!!"
The road a head
Will be a hard one to climb.
With doctors and lawyers
It seems like all the time.
Some battles in your life,
My little child -
Won't be worth the fight.
Choose them wisely;
Choose them carefully;
And always, always remember -
You've got the RIGHT!
I love you,
Mom
