My dad left me five years ago now
He killed himself and I know how
It was all my fault
I should of been there but I was at home asleep and that
means I don’t care
I was seven years old
All on my own
My dad had died and my mum left me at home
All on my own for several weeks she would come back home and batter me because
she hated me
I don’t know why
I had to sleep on the floor and it was cold
I thought I was going to die
The man she was with came in my bed and instead of hugging me
He would hurt me instead
I thought I was going to prison – that’s what he said
I told my teacher and she started to cry
I saw the tear in her eye
She took me from home straight away
She said it was not my fault but that’s not what they say
I was in care but not for a long time because Chloe fostered me and said every
thing will be fine
I couldn’t trust her
I didn’t know what to do but I noticed she never hurt me
So I knew she was true
We started to know each other a lot more and then she adopted me
What did she do that for?
I tell you why because she loves me
And now I am her daughter and she is my mummy
