I'd be a Billionaire

By , Urbanna, VA
If I had a Dollar
For every time you left me out,
For every time you
Paid more attention to your own kids more than me,
Went out and bought them brand new presents randomly,
Took time to help them with their school work happily,
For every time you
Made me feel like the…
Mistake,
I’d be a billionaire.

If I had a Quarter
For every time you kept me unsocial,
For every time you
Had me always stay at home all by my lonesome,
Made me appear in front of my friends really dumb,
Scared all my friends away so to me they won’t come,
For every time you
Made me feel always…
Alone,
I’d be a billionaire.

If I had a Dime
For every time you argued with my mom,
For every time you
In arguments, made me center of attention,
Grasped at anything in order to cause tension,
Had always about me more than one dissension,
For every time you
Made me feel like an…
Issue,
I’d be a billionaire.

If I had a Nickel
For every time you laid your hands on me,
For every time you
Used your filthy hands to smack the back of my head,
Grabbed my arms and shook me so hard you made them red,
Made sure I’d stay quiet by filling me with dread,
For every time you
Made me forever…
Scared,
I’d be a billionaire.

If I had a Penny
For every time you blamed me for your problems,
For every time you
Would glare at me with so much hatred in your eyes,
Screamed about problems I can’t fix and you despise,
Frequently made me look troublesome with your lies,
For every time you
Made me your little…
Excuse,
I’d be a billionaire.

And if I were to ever have something valued at Half a Penny
For every time you put me down,
For every time you
Told me I would have my first child at sixteen,
Said I’d starve my kids ‘cause with cooking I’m not keen,
Voiced that thoughts of me getting a job was obscene,
For every time you
Made me feel like I’m
Worthless,
I’d be a billionaire.
