I Asked Why Poem by Marla bear

When I was a little girl I would wonder why
Why you were never around and why you had to lie
When I was older I heard of stories why
Why you were never around and why you had to lie

I asked my mom why daddy was never around
She said cuz we likes to be around
I asked my mom why daddy was never around
She said cuz daddy likes to hit me around

I asked my brother why daddy hit
He said cuz he thought he could get away with it
I asked my brother why daddy hit
He said he said cuz she deserved to get hit

I asked my new daddy why he never hit
He said cuz I love you guys so very much
I asked my new daddy why he never hit
He said cuz a man should not be able to hit a girl like such
