[center]Child

I’m trying to tell you,
But I’ve not learned to speak.
Then I get yelled at,
And in return I become weak.

What did I do wrong,
To deserve an angered tone?
All I wanted was love,
Where love isn’t being shown.

I wanted the toy that plays music,
To sooth me to sleep.
Yet when I got up to get it, 
Your angered words I did meet.

I just wanted to help you
In putting those dishes away.
Yet when I grabbed a plate,
You yelled in thinking I did not obey.

I just want to help you,
Yet you return with angered words.
It’s as if everything I do now,
Comes back with anger in thirds.

I’m just a little child,
Learning from you.
Yet when I do what you’re doing
It’s always wrong to do.

So forgive me if I sit here
In silence and fear.
You won’t take the time,
To understand what’s so clear.
