Mummy, If Only You Didn't Swear And Shout At Me.

Mummy, I know that you love me,

Some days I can be your little angel,

Some days I can be very naughty,

I don't always mean to do the things I do,

But, Mummy, growing up is hard you see.

I know deep down you care about me,

And I know I can make you angry,

And yes;

I can get on your nerves,

But Mummy,

If only you didn't swear and shout at me.

I don't understand your harsh language,

though I do have feelings,

And you sometimes make me feel very scared;

When I am scared,

I over-react,

I get mad,

And I throw my toys because I don't understand you.

Mummy, I love you,

And I don't always mean to do the things I do,

Growing up is hard you see,

It can be painful seeing things I'm not ready for,

And I get growing pains,

And change is scary for me.

I'm too young to understand how to behave like a grownup,

I wish I could be just like you,

But Mummy;

I haven't yet learned to control my temper,

Or my emotions,

Though I will learn,

If only you wouldn't swear and shout at me.
