It all happened so fast that I almost didn't realize what you did to me. That you ***** me. After you left I tried to convince my self that it could NOT have been **** Right? But then I realized that I felt NOTHING. I did say NO right? Twice. Twice I said NO. You didn't care. I am without feeling now. Void of ALL emotion. And yet I still feel as if it is MY FAULT.

I said NO
red lipstick and tight lipped smile golden curls cascading it is all a lie because inside mascara is running hair a tangled mess and lips let out a cry this is the broken child inside huddled in the corner cracked and bruised left broken by the monsters from before But the curtain is drawn the stage is set society the director and there is a part to play rehearsed lines and perfectly blocked scenes face illuminated by make-up it is just a facade and the world is the stage when the lights go out smile fades and make-up drips from her face made of wax the stage lights too hot to maintain a perfect mold that was set out for this part that she plays.

The Stage is Set
What is WRONG with you? What is wrong with YOU? Because all I see that you do Is lay around in your room and Chew on your nails, I mean Haley no wonder you always fail At everything that you do. It is because your head is not quite ******* on right. You are overweight And always late I can see now why you can’t get a date. And you always complain And it makes me feel as if you are the bane Of my existence. But look at my life, Let me tell you about why I regret being your mom Or about the life I could have had, It is just too bad. You are not enough Haley. You can’t write Haley, You lack the talent and the creativity, I have told you this already. You should have been ready to Hear that again. Just be like me. When I was your age I weighed less than what you do now. You are just not enough Haley. Go put your face on and Do your hair, But don’t look like you are trying too hard, Make it look natural I mean, I just don’t want anyone to think that my daughter is a ***** And if you are, I mean it’s not my business unlike everything else you do, But if you are a ***** Just remember what you future now has in store. You will soon become a bore To all the men who leave you on the floor, But just remember, I told you so Haley. Why can’t you be what I want you to be? You disappoint me Haley Because you can’t seem to act like a lady And you are just so incredibly lazy. You leave your **** on your unmade bed When you should have put it up instead You sleep too much And please stop using your **** as your crutch, Just get over it. There is nothing wrong with you Haley Other than your complete lack of perfection. You are always feeling sad, That is just too bad. Just be like me Haley. I am perfect. Why can’t you be perfect Haley? Don’t you know how much we love you? I say this because I love you Haley. Be perfect Haley. Be enough Haley. Just be me Haley.

“Eat it” That is what her mind tells her, So she does. One cupcake Two cupcakes Three cupcakes Four, “How many can you eat Before you get sick on the floor?” Five cupcakes Six cupcakes Seven cupcakes Eight “Keep eating like this And you will never get a date!” Gulping down water Drowning her chocolaty binge, Filling the spaces in her stomach With a fast traveling liquid… Easy to purge. A finger down her throat One gag Two gags Three gags Four “I bet you won’t eat anymore.” Five gags Six gags Seven gags Eight Tears are now streaming down her face She leaves her chocolate sins In the eager toilet bowl. “I bet you want this to end” Mascara dripping from her Red rimmed eyes She wipes her mouth With the back of her hand They tell her when She feels this need, “Just breather” “Count to ten” But she just wonders when She’ll get the urge To binge and purge again.

"Eat it"
People ask "How are you?" but they just want to hear one, superficial answer "I'm good!" They don't really want to know the real answer. You tell them "I'm fine" but you want them to ask "No, how are you really?" You want them to really care so that you can give them the truth. You want them to say "I want to know how you are doing inside" so that you can tell them more than a one word answer. You want them to be genuinely concerned about your feelings, to see through your lies of "I'm great!" so that you can say "I'm not ok. I am tired. I'm dying to cry and scream and curse. Thank you for asking" because you really just want someone to care enough to ask "How are you?"

"How are you?"
I have tried to feel better I am constantly trying, but I am not doing it for me. No, I am doing it for you and everyone else. I just simply don’t care anymore. No matter how hard I try, I never seem to be enough for you and that breaks my heart, It breaks it over and over again. All that is left of it is the tiny broken pieces held together with tape and band aids. But you don’t care. The only thing you care about is if I am making you look good. I was always to overweight for you, Never pretty enough for you, Never as “put together as you”. When I was dying on the inside, you didn’t care, You were more worried about the money that I was costing you. I have tried to feel better, to be better. Better for you, Hoping that one day I will be enough. Enough for you.

Better for you
Thank you. Not for what you did to me. But for opening my eyes to the real dangers of this world. People like. YOU. I am Not saying that I was innocent before, but THAT was one thing I wanted to save. Thank you. Not for taking my virginty in the most cruel way possible. But for letting me know that I am alone. That no matter how much I want to scream and cry I can't because I am numb. Thank you. Not for holding me down. But for making me feel worthless and tainted. Because of you I am scared to tell my family. What is they are dissapointed in me? Thank you. And I say this with all the sarcasm I have in my being, because really the only thing good you did for me...wait...there was nothing. So on second thought...
