What did I do to deserve this abuse?
It causes me to ache, I feel obtuse.
Hands that were loving, hurt me in hate,
I was forgotten along the wayside by a twist of fate.
Left here to find my own way back
With a pain muddled mind, I fell off track.
They used me, abused me, and took my pride,
Now all alone with these memories, I hide.
I cannot find tomorrow or even today.
Please relieve me of the past, I pray.
A mother who never loved me, now or even then
She ravaged my self-esteem, does she even care when?
She chose to keep the ones that misused me,
When all along, her love could have set me free.
Alas, here I sit on a log were I lost track
Without any hope of ever making it back.
I have nowhere to run and nothing to hide,
Alone and forgotten along the wayside.
