Violently ripped away from my mothers true love.
I scream and cry for her -but deep I sense her heart is breaking.
Oh My God! what has happened?
Her comfort never comes ….I do not understand?

I’m placed inside shackles starved and beaten.
Its been a nightmare endlessly for days.
This can’t be…Please! Why are you so cruel ? What have I done?

Voices of men rise all around me
while sharp hooks penetrate my tender skin.
what can I do for you? I would! But please! Help me to understand?

My mind manages to stay focused I will try and leave if only I could.
I know you do not like me ????
Sick and alone my heart weighs so heavy.

Some times you leave me locked up and alone which seems unbearable without a
care. Only to return seemingly unhappy with what I am …but why? I cannot
understand?

The memories of what was once is now a dream it seems.
Oh no! could it be this terrible pain is the life doomed for me? Who am I?

At times I seem to do what you want
but even then you strike again?
I continue to make that painful move in hopes you will except me.
I know most times by the tone of your voice I must disappoint you…
Believe me…I just do not understand?

A shower at the end of a long rubber hose…. oh how I love and rejoice the cool of the
water! but even then with this one only joy your hands and glares always move
in anger…. please tell me what have I done?

These crowds of people scream as I move Are they angry with me too?
Why? Frightened …I plead… are you so angry with me?
….What did I possibly do?

Relief or comfort is never near …It never seams to come.
I try to please…. Confused and bewildered.
I’m patient to learn but please show some care.
… I’m trying to know what you need?

I have learned my only love is no longer near… her memory so far away.
Please! I ask for somebody to care… I know someone once did!
I guess I’m no good really not worthy …you have told me in so many ways

Please……I just don’t understand ….what I have or haven’t done?
