Step Mom from Hell
Why did you leave me mom?
You left me in the hands of a woman I don’t know
Why did dad have to chase you like that
I thought our family bond was unbreakable
Turns out it was a lie
Now all because of you, dad
I’m all alone sad
You go on business trips
And hell breaks loose
The woman I thought
With love would shower me after mom
Turned out to be something
I didn’t expect a woman to be
She always yells
At things so petty
She beats me as if she doesn’t
have children of her own
then there comes the ambulance siren
I call to get treatment she can’t offer
I slid and fell down she lies to the medical officers
Because I am a child, I have no say
I just wish I could make her pay
She makes me cry everyday
I see no peace that comes my way
She says am lazy and I don’t want to work
She doesn’t care of the needs that I lack
She gives me work that is not for my age
I’m like a worker who is given no wage
She calls me names I don’t deserve to be called
Sadly, I’m just a worm
I’ll have to stay in the misery
I’ll have to wear rags
Sleep on the floor
Eat the little scrap that they throw
Until Dad comes home again
I’ll have to cope with the pain.
