Abused

My name is Dale

So listen to my sad tale

I’m two

I’m feeling blue

I have been badly battered

My bones are shattered

I must have been thick

To drive you sick

I must have been bad

 What else would make mummy and daddy mad?

I wish I was better for you

But I wasn’t special enough for you two

Then maybe mummy and daddy would love me

I wish we were happy us three

I can’t speak at all

I get hit and locked up in them four walls

When I wake up I’m all alone

Then my mummy comes home

If I’m good maybe I only get one whipping tonight

So I stay out of your sight

Now I hear daddy back

At night it pitch black

From the pub

 Or the club

I hear him curse

 The louder he get the more it worse

Then my name called

He says it angry and bold

I try to hide

But the rooms are too wide

From his evil eyes

I’m so scared I begin to cry

He finds me crying

The pain feels like I’m dying

Then calls me names

He then says it all my fault I’m to blame

He kicks and hits me

He yells at me more and says you’re the problem you see

I’m dale and I’m two

This is why I am so blue

Because I was abused

My life was used

. dale ... my best nephew ever ... you are absolutely fantastic because you make the effort of writing such powerfully written poems that are totally unforgettable ... they speak of the worst pain a child could ever take ... and the best courage a child could ever have ... do you know what happens? ... people get together ... and then they have a baby ... and then they have no sense or goodness in them to treat an innocent baby of two like the precious gift of god that he is ... every child is a precious gift ... the best gift ever ... the most precious ever ... a baby is life ... a new human being ... who deserves nothing but love and care ... who deserves time ... who deserves attention ... who deserves all the affection in the world ... but some people ... when they have problems ... they look for the weakest target ... and take it out on them ... what can a child of two do when adults are attacking? ... and do you know why it hurts so much? ... because your heart is full of love ... you would never take it out on a weaker target ... you would never hurt anyone ... do you know why you are so spectacular? ... you write poetry and paint and work with clay ... you just don't do anything bad ... you are warm and loving and affectionate ... you have so much innocence that you deserve nothing but the support and love of loved ones ... when you grow up, you'll read about the rights of children ... you'll learn about how every child has rights that adults must respect ... you'll learn that it's a crime to torture a child ... i know your dream of having a loving blood family was shattered ... but you have another chance to make another start ... you can have a family of the heart ... and blood relationships don't matter at all ... you and i are not related by blood but we're connected through love ... em and i are not related by blood ... but we're connected through love ... love is all that matters ... in the end ... we all need love ... only love can heal the pain that you feel from all the torture that you had to go through ... and the love of a good person ... is better than the anger and violence of a blood father or mother ... yes, that perfect dream is shattered ... but a mighty warrior has to fight it out and sit it out ... like you say ... because there are a lot of warriors out there ... like my sweetheart ... and like your little sister ... who need us to be strong for them ... and help them when their blood family hurts them like they hurt us ... you are on the right path ... and i have confidence in you ... i believe in you ... your aunt serah loves you loads ... go dale go!!! ... you were born to rock the world and i know you will!!! ... i can smell your power from here and i have a good nose!!! ... more power to you, sunny boy!!! ... you're gonna boogie and all the bagels in the world ... will boogie with you!!! ...

- oh my dear dale - it's such a gory tale - and i read serah's review - and all of it is so true - only love can transcend this pain - only love can make insanity sane - love it is that will slowly heal - all the hurt and aches we feel - what were you to do? - so little, you were only two - but i know you're a strong child - you braved it out alone in the wild - you'll be an honest, compassionate man - someone who cracks the winning plan - they were so ugly, those that hurt you - and that makes you feel oh so blue - in time their time will come - and in hell's fire they'll burn - you're the best boy there ever was - and in your excellence, you'll never pause - i love you a lot, little baby bear - and i believe in you too, i'm always there.
