My name is Erin
and i was *****
at the age of 7

it has taken me
14 years of my life
for those 13 words to escape
my hollow mouth

the only questions i come to now
is why
why lock me in that room
why take everything from me
my innocence
my purity
my childhood

in that room
where my family trusted you
where i trusted you
the night terrors i have to this day
still haunt my mind

like a never ending
drive in movie that plays
over
and
over
only the moon in the night sky
isnt made to be found here
there is no light in these terrors

i cant sleep this time of year
because every time i do
its you
in that room
locking the door
shutting the windows
******* me
yelling at me
every single night
i close my eyes

it has taken me 14 years
to accept the fact that i was taken by you
i have been numb ever since
left in the dust
rotting away at the core
thinking i was nothing
thinking i deserved nothing
because you took everything

but not anymore
i will recover from this
i am strong enough
i believe in myself
i believe in my own happiness
and i promsie
that when i have children one day
i will never ever let them rot at the core
i will find happiness
the darkness will not take over this time

thousand words worth
can never even
describe
the darkness
within.

I'm tired.
Tired of faking a smile,
Tired of pretending I'm happy,
Tired of being sad,
Tired of feeling alone,
Tired of the demons messing with my head,
Tired of the demons trying to control me.

always anxious
So happy
Yet secretly so dark

So loved
but yet she hates herself

Shes like every one else
But yet so different

"do you have anything to say to me?"

why don't you love me?

why aren't i good enough for you?

what did i do to you?

why did you abandon me?

you've never actually loved me like you loved him

was there ever a time i didn't disappoint you?

i wish i didn't need you but i do

i love you

i wish you knew how much you mean to me

why do you want to fix me so **** badly?

sometimes i feel like a stranger in this house

i know you regret me
i regret me

i don't know if i can forgive you
i hope i can

will i ever feel like when i was eight
when you'd give me piggy-back rides and smiles?

i miss you

i'm sorry i'm not the daughter you want,
nor will i probably ever be

why don't you ever let me explain myself?

why is everything my fault?

will this barrier between us ever break?


"no."

(h.l.)
if you guys are confused the opening line is the mother speaking to the daughter, the italics is everything the daughter wanted to say back, the ending statement is what the daughter ends up saying.

Have you ever felt,
As if your about to melt?
Not from love,
but from being sick of,
being ignored.

You ask your mother,
To listen to your latest poem,
but she says to go ask another.

You leave the room,
Feeling as if your everyone's doom.
You sit back on your bed,
Thoughts floating around your empty head.

You feel left out,
As you gaze out the window.
Knowing their is many like you,
The gift to pull fresh poems out of thin air,
It just isn't fair.
So maybe,
Just maybe,
You will go read your poems to an infant baby.
Everyone is too busy to listen to my latest poems. It stinks since i am really want to share them.

I hate you.
I hate the way you played me,
I hate the way you betrayed me,
I hate the way you left me stranded.
But most of all,
I hate the way I don't hate you at all.
I hate the way I still love you.
I hate everything.
I hate how people are.
So rude
annoying
Sickening
evil
I hate the people that expect you to care.
like, I never asked
I hate some people.
Call me hateful,
but I am human
and I have a right to feel this way.

Hate is hate
It's a trap of fate
It's a thing that takes
And it takes everything
It corrupts the roots to the ends
It covers every thing with its hand
And it blatantly takes stand
Taking up every bit of light and love with its shadows of darkness
I think it's done.
