Gum

You made me feel stuck

You made me feel gross

You made me feel unwanted

You made me feel like an inconvenience

You made me feel ugly

You made me feel like a waste

You made me feel discarded

You made me feel like a mistake

You made feel powerless

You made me feel worthless

You made me feel inhuman

You made me feel like a ruined day

 

A ruined day that lasts forever...

And there is no running from it

There is no hiding from it

There's just me, unmoving

Unable to be whatever you wanted

When I never really had a chance

 

You made me feel like gum

On the bottom of your shoe

 

I did not deserve to feel that way

The feelings caused by my stepmother, who was rarely kind, often cold, and never loved me.
