A childs eyes

Contributed by newguy on Saturday, 26th December 2009 @ 10:44:11 PM in AEST
Topic: FamilyPoems

A lonely child walks the street
Snow beanth his shoes
He wonders as he wanders
What wrong did I do

My daddy hits my mommy
My older brothers too
Daddy doesnt hit me
What wrong did I do

Mommy doesnt hug me
All she does is drink
Mommy doesnt notice me
It really makes me think

My brothers all have bruises
Cuts and scrapes and scars
Daddy hits them with his belt
They tell me they see stars

I remember my grandma
She would teach me stuff
Like how to sing and dance and play
And above all how to love

She left this world quickly
She didnt say goodbye
She was the only one who noticed me
I couldnt tell you why

I remeber her quite well
Her smile bright and true
I wonder why she left me
What wrong did i do

I wonder if they know Im gone
That I ran away
I wll look for a new family
A safe place i can stay

Where brothers play with sling shots
Teach me to climb trees
Where Mommys hug and Daddys pray
Where were a family

Daddy never hurt me
Never forced me to be strong
I think I rather be beaten
At least I would belong

Why was I not hurt
Dont they know its true
That I wonder constantly
What wrong did I do

So I wander aimlessly
Secrets to my Teddy Ive told
He is my companion
Even though im much too old

I relly do not miss them
And I doubt that they miss me
Even with them I am alone
Adrift in a lonely sea

Thats was many years ago
I bet they never knew
That even today i still wonder
What wrong did I do

I never was punished
Or pushed in the dirt
But to them non existent
Which cuases much more hurt

Some would say Im lucky
These i just despise
You dont know what is seen
Through a childs eyes

My god, this made my heart ache so much.
A very strong and powerful account of eternal endurance,
something that can never be forgotten, trapped inside, always
begging the question - "Why?".....
