All on my own for several weeks she would come back home and batter me because she hated me
I don’t know why
I had to sleep on the floor and it was cold
I thought I was going to die
The man she was with came in my bed and instead of hugging me
He would hurt me instead
I thought I was going to prison – that’s what he said

I told my teacher and she started to cry
I saw the tear in her eye
She took me from home straight away
She said it was not my fault but that’s not what they say

I was in care but not for a long time because Chloe fostered me and said every thing will be fine
I couldn’t trust her
I didn’t know what to do but I noticed she never hurt me
So I knew she was true
We started to know each other a very lot more and then she adopted me
What did she do that for?
I tell you why because she loves me
And now I am her daughter and she is my mummy
