To My Mother
What did I do
To deserve your hate?
I mean your my mom
For gods sake.
When I get hit
It hurts
When I get slapped
It stings.
You call me
*****
*****
****.
When all I try to do
Is please you.
You make me feel worthless
You've made me wanna die.
You've made me make my skin
Bruised
Or bleed.
You're words are like fire
Branded into my brain.
When I'm alone
I hear you.
But then it's ok
Because you would buy?
A new toy
A new outfit.
You would say "im sorry"
And say you love me.
But the next day
Start again.
Until my psyche is destroyed
And my brain is confused.
Until inside I'm dead.
I see myself as sub human
I've had a noose around my neck
So close to stepping off.
So close to ending it all.
Why do you hate me?
A child you adopted.
A child you abused.
That grew into this broken woman
you see before you.
