Poor Teddy

Poor Teddy, seen so much

Poor Teddy an innocent face, but with bruised eyes

saw the pain and the blood spilt and how it dries

He saw me getting hit,kicked and tossed around

He saw me get beaten to the ground

Poor Teddy

Poor Teddy, got used to the fact

That sometimes I now sleep with a ball bat

How innocent he looks yet knows so much

Poor Teddy

should have seen laughter, but only seen tears

should have seen bottles of milk, not bottles of beers

Poor Teddy

"Poor Teddy
should have seen laughter, but only seen tears"

The way you use your creativity astounds me. You are truly a talented writer, to have expressed this kind of situation with such childish innocent, and yet still retaining the morbid truth. The reader can understand how the person expressed themselves through a symbol of how their childhood should have been. It should have been sweet like the teddy, and yet it was not. That innocent looking Teddy, like her, had gone through things it was not meant to have to dealt with.

This was an emotion stirring write, thank you for sharing. You write what other people are scared to touch.
