I never thought i would see the day
where you abused and beat me...
cause i thought u really loved me
now it seems your love was never going to stay.
Cause you said i was a bad child
and i always answered back,
then you hit me and get mad
cause you say its manners i lack.
You said it was mummys fault
cause she never taught me
taught me how to be polite,
then you would hit me badly.
Everytime i uttered a small word
you'd just get really mad
'im sorry i didnt mean to make you angry,'
but you still beat me real bad.'
Well if you never really wanted me,
why on earth did you keep me?
you could have put me up for adoption,
been given to people who care about me.
But instead you'd rather abuse me,
beat me up for little things
like when i hurt my sister by accident,
you just flipped at me for nothing.!
(little girl crying in the corner)
NEXT MINUTE!
(wakes up)
Suddenly...i wake up an sit upright
thank god it was just a dream
but it seemed so real, it just shows
things are never as they seem.
I go downstair and i hug my dad
for being the best in the world,
i say 'i love you daddy,' for being
a good dad to your little girl.

This is a flipping master piece!!!!! Wow. i am so amazed. The way you have put your past and present into it by using it as if it was all a bad dream that you managed to wake up from one day.........WOW, babe you are incredible. I was shaking reading this cos of the amount of emotion it brought up for me. I love this. You are bloody fantastic!!! i am so sorry for all your pain babe, and i am always here for you i just wish you could see how great you are and that he WAS to blame. Sod money problems and stress, that does not give a single person the right to hurt another human being, no matter what he says you did. It is just crap! :'( i wish you could see how brilliant and perfect you are. im always here for you bootiful xxxxxxxxxxxx
