Hell is my grandmother Grabbing me by the throat And telling me that I'm nothing When I'm only seven years old Hell is my mother Calling me a **** For cuddling with my first boyfriend Still a ****** who just wanted to be held Hell is my father For calling his two kids "only children" He wanted me to stay away from my brother So I did and now it's permanent Hell is my brother Crying on this 13th birthday Thinking he was going to become evil like me Their lies convinced him I'm a villain Hell is my uncle Overdosing on the kitchen floor Telling me he loves me more than my parents While he rocks back and forth Hell is my great grandmother Grabbing toilet paper out of my hands Saying that I'm nothing but a wasteful child Haunting my first memory as a human Hell is my inner dialogue A rumination of hate in my mind Shaped by the heavenly voices that raised me I'm already ****** if they are the light
