This page is for Mattie and Mattie alone. The big people in her life are equipped to take care of themselves, she is not. While everyone takes sides I will remain on one side, Mattie's!

Adults have big twisted lives and things are seldom black and white. He said, she said, it's all a tangled mess. Who told the biggest lie, who hurts more is all so irrelevant when you get down to what's important and that is a wee little girl named Mattie. She is small so in our world she has no voice so this is her page, a place where HER feelings will NOT be brushed aside.

For Mattie

I am just a little girl, not a pawn in a game,

Though I may be very small I have feelings just the same.

I hear your hurtful words when you think I'm not around,

I try so very hard to Block out those evil sounds.

Fighting and arguing wasn't good enough one day,

You deceived my trust when you took me away.

Now all the people that I love aren't with me anymore,

I am so confused and I hurt to the core.

Look past your own pain and you will see,

While you fight to hurt each other you end up hurting me.

So wrapped up in your own pain, you forget as adults often do,

Though I am little I hurt BIG, just like you!
