Why Me!?

January 17, 2013

The ringing in my ears.
The itchiness of my eyes.
The rash upon my legs.
And the welts across my back.
***
Why must they do this!?
Does this make them happy!?
Does it bring them pleasure!?
Will they ever stop!?
***
The bruises all over my body.
The cuts on my arms.
The knots on my head.
And the bleeding of my nose.
***
Were they once treated like this!?
Have I done something wrong!?
What were my mistakes!?
Do they like to see me suffer!?
***
The tangles in my hair.
The staleness of my clothes.
The stinkyness upon my body.
And the holes all in my shoes.
***
Is everyone treated like this!?
Or am I alone in the world!?
Will I die young!?
Or will I have to suffer like this for centuries!?
***
The yellowness of my nails.
The gaps between my teeth.
The dead skin all over me.
The blisters on my feet.
***
Why do I call these people my parents!?
Do they even love me!?
Why must they always hurt me!?
Why do they brutally abuse me!?
