Mother told me to be brave.

Father told me he wouldn’t tell.

Sister told me to have fun.



Mother gave me food.

Father gave me money.

Sister gave me drugs.



Mother told me too much.

Father told me too little.

Sister shared her thoughts with me.



Mother screamed at me.

Father ignored me.

Sister blamed me.



Mother cried to me.

Father lied to me.

Sister left me.



Mother lost me.

Father never had me.

Sister is still finding me.



Mother invaded me.

Father destroyed me.

Sister scared me.



Mother was proud of me.

Father was proud of me.

Sister was proud of me.



Mother made me angry.

Father made me sad.

Sister made me laugh.



Mother hugged me.

Father kissed me.

Sister held me.



I wanted none of it, and all of it at once.
