How Could You by Suzanne Avino-Brittain
To my loving, wonderful family....NOT.......
How could you do all of those things to me
Couldn't you see what the outcome would be.
Look at me now can you see your own face
All these stolen years you cannot replace.
What did I do I was just a child
It's no wonder I was so violent and wild.
Look at yourselves and don't even lie
The only question I have is godammit why.
Every blow he layed upon me
What about you mom, denial is what I see.
Didn't you consider the fear that I felt
What about the embarrassment of another welt.
What did I do, was I so...bad
What in the hell made him so..mad.
I try and understand or even to relate
but then I remember you left me to the state
Alone and afraid with nowhere to live or go
Anger and Hate was all I knew how to show.
Now I'm happy with a rich full life
I'm not like you, I'm a good parent and wife!
