I was born,

Nothing but a helpless child

You, as my mother,

Must teach me not to go wild

I’m 15 months old

As a mother of mine,

You must teach me to

Out shine

But what do you do?

Hurt me; fill my ears with your lies

Burn my fingertips,

Pour bleach into my eyes.

You pour as much

Until you can damage my life

Go on then, if you want to kill me

Stab my heart with a knife

Because if this world you’ve shown me

Is where I will live

I prefer to die

So kill me now, please
