I know I tend to drool
And slobber all over myself.
I don't want to do it, it's embarrassing.
I keep trying to call for help.But I can't speak out loud.
My words have no voice.
I scream inside my head at you
But you never give me a choice.My neck is really sore.
It itches and it smells.
I don't like it when you pull on it.
Sometimes you don't move me well.But I can't speak out loud.
My words have no voice.
I scream inside my head at you
But you never give me a choice.My tummy is upset.
I think I just need to move.
Could you just come here and help me?
I need choices I can choose!But I can't speak out loud.
My words have no voice.
I scream inside my head at you
But you never give me a choice.I have to go potty now.
I peed a little on the bed.
My belly hurts and it hurts down there.
Did you wipe me like Mommy said?But I can't speak out loud.
My words have no voice.
I scream inside my head at you
But you never give me a choice.I don't know why you don't talk to me.
What did I ever do to you?
Why can't I get out of bed
And play like other kids do?But I can't speak out loud.
My words have no voice.
I scream inside my head at you
But you never give me a choice.
