BEATEN UP BATTERED AND BRUISED

 

 

Beaten up battered and bruised

I don’t know I am so confused

I don’t know why they don’t understand

I was the one hurt by mans’ hand

 

They please themselves with whatever they do

but they don’t want love or peace for you

 It is sad but is was not my fault

I was their mother and father too by default

 

So many years I lived alone

so many tears over the years have flowed

But I have found love now that will always last

I don’t want to think of the hurts of the past

 

My heart just wishes they would be loving and kind

not just have themselves on their mind

Maybe someday they will come to know

words don’t mean much if love does not show

OR

 

Maybe someday they will know

and understand

The things that happened

 were not by my hand

 

It was the hand of others

who had themselves in mind

When they treated us badly

and were so unkind

 

 

I did the best the best I could

others did not…when they should

Have put their family first before themselves

Maybe then love would have dwelt

 

 

Selfishness ruled

and reigned in their life

 They did not think 

of their children or wife

 

 

 

 

Too many years

and too many tears

But I am no longer alone

I have no more fears

 

BUT

 

 

We are still apart

where are their hearts

All about self

love placed on the shelf?????

 

They have chosen their own paths

 what about mine

Don’t I deserve to be happy

did I commit some crime???
