Mommy and DaddyA Poem by Gwenn the little girlI wrote this in the voice of my eight-year-old self, and on what I've experienced with my parents during my childhood.Mommy and Daddy By: Gwenn the little girl Mommy and daddy, They always hurt me But only on the back
and chest So that nobody could
see
When daddy would get
the metal bar While mommy would
scream at him, “Hit her anywhere,
just not on the head!” I would look at the
stars I always liked the
night sky, No screams, no hurt,
no lies I would see a quiet
and empty place Just like me
When mommy would kick me on the chest While daddy would
scream to shut up and give him some rest, I’ll just lie on the
floor Wishing I didn’t feel
anymore I didn’t want to feel
all the hurt All the pain, all the
tears Please, make it stop! I’m just a child of
eight years
When mommy and daddy, Would force me to
kneel on the floor, And lock me in a
darkened room, I would scream and
bang at the door I’d shout and beg To let me out, Even when I know they
won’t listen Even when I know, it’s
another bruise to the leg I don’t like the
dark, I’d gladly take the
bruises and bleeding No matter the
warnings and threats said, Because it’s much,
much better, than the darkness in my head
Mommy and daddy, Always take their failures
and anger on me They wouldn’t hold
back So here I am wishing,
for the happiness that I lack Daddy left the house, Spent all his money on drinks and friends, Then he came back, With the wire and
belt, hurting me to no end Mommy grew stressed, Spent all her time on yelling and swearing, Then she found
something for the stress to mend With the glare and
words, hurting me to no end Daddy said it was his money, Mommy said it was her time, They said it was their life, I thought, “What
about me?”
When they fight, they
scream, “Your child, your
baby!” They don’t say “my”
or “our”, I’m both yours, can’t you see?
They were my parents, I was their child We were a family Aren’t families supposed to be happy? So why, why am I so broken and lonely?
