Disclaimer: I don't own Les Miserables.

Little Cosette

Every day is

the same.

Work, work, work;

I never play.

The other two

always play,

but not

me.

"You must work

to earn your keep,"

they say.

I always am

silent;

If I am not,

she may

hit me

They other two

are never hit,

but I am.

As tears of

utter misery

stream down

my cheeks,

I wonder,

"Why do they

Hate me so?"
