Why? when I was in these homes was NO protection ever shown? Why? when I was hurt so bad did no one notice I cried and cried ? I was just so very sad?

Why? when I was beaten with those awful sticks and canes did I feel all of the blame? Why? when I was plunged into a cold bath did no one answer my eternal ear piercing screams?

Why? when I was so humiliated again and again did no one comfort my pain? Why? when I was so full of fear did no one lend a listening ear?

Why? was I never shown love I used to wish I was a bird? just to fly FREE Why? did no one protect ME?

JUST WHY?

Why? were the other children not allowed to ease my pain? Why? was I full of so much humility with so much GUILT? just WHY?

Why? was I forbidden to show any emotion of how I felt? Why? did I feel like a prisoner behind these great big walls? Why? did you carry out your evil deeds behind closed doors?

Why? were you nun's so much like Jekyl and Hyde? Why? could you nun's not see anything good that I had

IN ME THAT I HAD TO KEEP IT ALL HIDDEN AWAY INSIDE WHY?

Why? did you nun's not care and protect ME just WHY? Why? did you nun's constantly just make me cry WHY?

Why? was my big sister Anne not allowed to give me comfort and HUGS I so desperately needed just WHY? because if caught she would have been mistreated too just why? surely this is a natural instinct to have when you are related by blood just

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why? was I left feeling so desperately helpless and all alone just WHY?

JUST WHY? WERE YOU NUN'S IN NAZARETH HOUSE SO WICKED AND CRUEL? I JUST WANTED TO DIE TO BRING ME PEACE TO MY LIFE JUST WHY? DID YOU CONSTANTLY USE AND ABUSE ME?!!!

JUST WHY?
