Unloved

Mommy and Daddy hurt me
They bruise me and beat me
They drink long into the night
and then come and give me a whack
They call me names
Bitch
Whore
Miss no-good
I hold onto my teddy bear and cry

Teacher ask why I have these scars
I say I got them when I fell playing on the playground
Teacher sighs and says she doesn't believe me
I cry and break down and tell Mommy and Daddy have been hurting me
I tell her Daddy hit me with a switchblade
I tell her Mommy cut me open with a knive
I tell her they hit me with Daddy's belt
I tell her that they call me names
I tell her everything
She tells me poor thing let me call Child Services
Child Services is called
Mommy and Daddy no longer have me
I now live with a nice Mommy and Daddy who take
me out for ice cream and candy
A Mommy and Daddy that won't hurt me
Now I'm no longer unloved
