My name's Maureen

My name's Maureen
I'm only three
I don't know why my mommie hates me
She yells a lot
She calls me names
She says I make her fell ashamed

My name's Maureen
I'm only five
My mom wishes I were not alive
She gets so mad
If I am wrong
In hell she says is where I belong

My name's Maureen
I'm only seven
I wish that God would take me to heaven
The belt and brush
They hurt so bad
I am handed to her to beat by my dad

My name's Maureen
I'm only nine
My mommie hurts me all the time
I cannot run
I cannot hide
Her mean words hurt me deep inside

My name's Maureen
I'm now eleven
My baby brother has gone to heaven
It is my fault
My mommie says
Her baby is gone and this bad girl stays

My name's Maureen
I just turned thirteen
My mom has gotten really mean
She says I'm worthless
She says I'm a waste
Never have I seen such pure hate

My name's Maureen
I'm now fifteen
I cannot take this more it seems
Mom calls me a slut
In front of my friends
Oh God will this nightmare ever end?

My name's Maureen
I'm seventeen
I still cannot do right it seems
I'm called a failure
if I make a mistake
I don't know how much more I can take

My name's Maureen
I'm now nineteen
I am pregnant by a boy who didn't love me
My mom is furious
She says I'm a whore
She says my baby deserves much more

My name's Maureen
I'm twenty-one
I have no time to go out and have fun
My baby needs diapers
and clothes and food
My mom still believes I do no good

My name's Maureen
I'm now twenty-three
I'm pregnant again but the man married me
I'm away from my mom
That chapter is closed
I hope better times my new life will hold

My name's Maureen
I'm twenty-five
I was pregnant but the child inside me just died
Her father is worse
than my mom ever could be
The baby is dead because he threw me

My name's Maureen
It is many years later
I have lived my entire life with haters
The pain that they caused
will not go away
I carry it deep inside still today.
