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???
