I'm The Child Of All I've Done

please don't grow to be like me

Eyes are drawn to you when you enter
How can one person radiate such happiness?
How can one so small still be so happy?

I'm not the only one who is worried about you
Oh no, we all are
Are you safe?
We're not sure

You're mother does not want to leave
She believes she is happy
I'm scared she has found a replacement for our father
Even though she now shuns him

I am not comfortable with him
He yells just a little too much like your grandfather
Are you okay?
Your aunties and Grandma want you to come with us
You and mummy can stay with us
And your aunties will play with you everyday

But mummy thinks she is happy
So you must stay there with her
I love you
I just pray you don't not grow to be like me
