What Did I Do?

Written by Jenni Bailey


I came into this world to live a life that I didn’t get to pick

I didn’t choose the struggles, not even how I fight to survive

You leave me asking, ‘’what did I do?”

I didn’t rebel against you because I hated you

I rebelled against you because my mind and body don’t cooperate

You leave me asking, ‘’what did I do?”

The discipline you delivered, was worse than what I did

I was a child, dealing with something I knew nothing about

You leave me asking, ‘’what did I do?’’

I was also dealing with things that I was forced to go through

Both would make you fall to your knees

You leave me asking, ‘’what did I do?’’

You’ve left me crying at the door

Sometimes, behind the door

You no longer have me asking ‘’what did I do?’’

I know exactly what I did…

I began talking!
