maybe I deserved it all on the bathroom floor crunched up in a ball ripping my skin open with my fingernails she says I’m off the rails he bails leaves me alone with her pounding on the door for me to open up deeper in the nails go she’s punching the windows open now yup, my mind makes no sense this time it will go too far this time she drags me down the hallway by my hair **** I really hate when she comes back from the bar I dream about going somewhere beautiful and far I try to concentrate on something other than the pain -who could’ve known a child was being poisoned
