Why can’t I just act the way that you want me to be?

I really do hate myself, so much is wrong with me.
Why can’t I just act the way that you want me to be?
I know you love me like any parents do their child,
do not know why I do these things to drive you wild.

I should be able to do the things that you desire,
except the times you tell me to, I am not a liar,
I would never tell them that I am such a beast,
that you must keep me locked away at the very least.

I should not run when you wish to do what parents do,
or wince when you beat me for crying when you are through.
I know that you do it with Mom ’cause you love her true,
and I really try so hard to make you love me too.

You say it is our secret and no one needs to know
that my future stepfather does really love me so.
I know there’s nothing wrong with it,Mom would make you stop,
protect her little treasure or even call a cop.

So why do I still feel that it is so very wrong?
For the sake of Mommy I try so hard to be strong.
She says that soon you’ll marry and be a family,
from then on that this how it is going to be.

Why do I feel like dying and for it often pray,
is it normal for six year old to feel this way?
Is it through these things that your love I get to see.
I really do hate myself, so much is wrong with me.

If you do not stop it you are helping support it
if you ever see sexual abuse report it.

    What an awesome article even though its sad that the victim thinks it’s their fault. Sexual abuse of minors need to be reported by these adults who knows that it’s happening yet they turn their heads. This is truly a heartfelt article. “we need to protect the kids” and guide them through life with the appropiate type of love. Great Job.
