I'm only two and one half.
I'm tiny for my age.
I thought when I was born
I was going to be loved.
I thought my mommy would
always protect me.....
but it's not to be.
Mommy what if I die from the
beatings?
What if my little body can't take
anymore and I just fall and
never get up again?
Mommy why did you let him take
me in the bathroom and beat me
leaving bruises where his fist hit me?
Mommy why do you take the wooden
spoon to me when you know how
much it hurts?
Mommy what if I die from the beatings
would you be sorry?
What has this poor child done to bring
such wrath down on her?
She is only two and a half but she has
already known more pain from the
hands of the one person she thought
would always take care of her.
What kind of mother stands by while
this man she isn't even married too
beats her child till the bruises cover
her skin?
What kind of mother joins in and
wails on her too?
They have been reported but I guess
this poor child has to die before anyone
cares enough.
She stands in her room clutching her
tattered doll with tears streaming
down her cheeks.
Shouldn't she be laughing and playing?
Running in the sunshine catching butterflies?
She shouldn't be cowering in the corners
trying to pretend she is anywhere but
where she is.
But mommy, what if I die?
Will you care and love me then?
Will you weep over my tiny grave
and feel guilt or will you put on a
show so people will feel sorry for you?
Child abuse what kind of excuse can
someone use for using their child as
a whipping post?????
