Teddy Bear
Her name was Abby
 She was only five
 This is what happened
 When she was alive
 
 Her dad was a drunk
 Her mom was an addict
 Her parents kept her
 Locked in an attic
 
 Her only friend
 was a little toy bear
 It was old and worn out
 And had patches of hair
 
 She always talked to it
 When no one's around
 She lays there and hugs it
 Not a peep of sound
 
 Until her parents
 unlock the door
 Some more and more pain
 She'll have to endore
 
 A bruise on her leg
 A scar on her face
 Why would she be
 In such a horrible place?
 
 But she grabs her bear
 And softly crys
 She loves her parents
 But they want her to die
 
 She sits in the corner
 Quiet but thinking,
 " God, why? Why is
 My life always sinking? "
 
 Such a bad life
 For a sad little kid
 She'd get beaten and beaten
 For anything she did
 
 Then one night
 Her mom came home high
 The poor child was hit and slapped
 As hours went by
 
 Then her mom suddenly
 Grabbed for a blade
 It was sharp and pointy
 One that she made
 
 She thrusted the blade
 Right in her chest,
 " You deserve to die
 You worthless pest! "
 
 The mom walked out
 Leaving the girl slowly dying
 She grabbed her bear
 And again started crying
 
 Police showed up
 At the small little house
 They quickly barged in
 Everything was as quiet as a mouse
 
 One officer slowly
 Opened a door
 To find the sad little girl
 Lying on the floor
 
 It must have been bad
 To go through so much harm
 But at least she died
 With her best friend in her arms
