Dear Teddy

[Ariya]

Teddy, I've been bad again
My Mommy told me so
I'm not quite sure what I did wrong
But I thought that you might know

When I woke up this morning
I knew that she was mad
Cause she was crying awful hard
And yelling at my dad

I tried my best to be real good
& do just what she said
I cleaned my room all by myself
I even made my bed

But I spilled milk on my good shirt
When she yelled at me to hurry
& I guess she didn't hear me
When I told her I was sorry

Because she hit me awful hard, you see
& called me funny names
& told me I was really bad
& I should be ashamed

When I said, I love you Mommy
I guess she didn't understand
Cause she yelled at me to shut my mouth
Or I'd get smacked again

So I came up here to talk to you
Please tell me what to do
'Cause I really love my Mommy
& I know she loves me too

& I don't think my Mommy means
To hit me quite so hard
I guess sometimes, grown ups forget
How really big they are

So Teddy, I wish you were real
& you weren't just a bear
Then you could help me find a way
To tell Mommies everywhere

So please try hard to understand
How sad it makes us feel
Cause the outside pain soon goes away
But the inside will never heal

& if we could make them listen
Maybe then they'd understand
So other children just like me
Wouldn't have to hurt again

But for now, I guess I'll hold you tight
& pretend the pain's not there
I know you'd never hurt me
So Goodnight, Teddy Bear
