Why don’t you help me?

You don't do nothing for us.

Adding insult to injury –

Shin kicking;

Saliva spitting;

Hair pulling;

Stationery stabbing;

Furniture throwing;

Foul-mouthed, despondent,

Disengaged, uneducated,

Self-loathing, traumatised,

Emotionally disturbed children.

 

Fix me!

Stay away from me, you cunt!

Teach me!

Don’t fucking talk to me,

Paedophile!

Hold me, nurture me,

love me…

Why don’t you just go

and kill yourself, please.

 

Three steps forward and

Two steps back.

Take another step

And you’ll be on track.

The self-destructive tendencies

Of these littlies

Brings endless unease

Like a squeeze on the soul.

 

Don’t let them in your head,

Fill your dreams with dread

And leave your sheets a sweaty mess.

They try and test us when we

Give nothing but our best.
