Mummy

Why do you hate me mummy, was I a bad child?
I never fought or cussed mummy, I never acted wild.
I tried my best, I really did, to make better your day of gloom.
But mummy can you tell me, why you just locked me in my room?

I love you mummy, please dont hurt me.
Why are you angry? Why do you beat me?
Why are you crying? Did I upset you?
You can hit me again mummy, if that's what you want to do.

Why are you distant mummy? Why dont you care?
That the kids in school were mean to me, they burned my teddy bear.
Why are your wrists crying mummy? Why are the tears red?
Please dont leave me like this mummy, please get off the bed.

I'll clean my room, I'll brush my teeth. I'll even comb my hair.
I'll even let you hurt me again, or tie me to a chair.
Please, get better mummy, dont go where I cant follow.
I promise I'll be a better son, I'll start proving it tomorrow.


It's fourteen years later mummy, and I'm standing on your grave.
I told you I could be better mummy, told you I could behave.
But the people, they still hurt me mummy, just like you used to do.
Is it true what they say mummy? Would I be better joining you?

I cant take this any more mummy, everyone is still mean to me.
Why cant you just come back mummy, make things how they used to be?
Please help me with this mummy, prove to me you're there!
Or where they right? Can it be true mummy? Did you really never care?
