Why me?
I wait for you to get home
Let me out
Have your way with me,
But is it all worth it?
When you are through with me,
You put me back on the shelf
And save me for a rainy day
I see all the other people
The ones you bring home
I know all about it
But it wont do any good
I am just your play toy
You take me out when you please
Then shove me back in the jar
One day,
I will break away
No longer your play thing
Just one more day
When you use me once again
I try to run, but find no use
You take me and beat me
Then again grab me and say
"You are my little toy,
There is no use to run,
I own you."
Then you put me away
I see all the same things again
Different faces, but basically the same people
I just wait on the shelf
And wait for you to use me once again.

Such a sad write... hope it's not based on things you've gone through. Such terrible feelings and abuse to go through. Being tossed and thrown aside when finished with, otherwised used and taken and then being made to watch others go through this, or maybe go through better treatment [it hurts when abusers treat others nicely and treat you like crap]. Wonderful write, full of emotion!
