Hi, my name is Autumn and I’m an addict If you knew me, you’d know my life was tragic Prescription drug abuse and two eating disorders couldn’t get me down The thought of my past, however, is enough to make me frown I look in the mirror, and I see my mother’s figure The resemblance is so quaint, it makes me shiver I look in the mirror, and I see her nose I’ve gone through a lot, and in my face it shows I was very young, not even eight years old When my mother turned to alcohol and began to grow cold She would always reprimand my father, calling him a **** Just because he spent all of his time at work Her boyfriends would come, and they would go Mother cheated on them while they were babysitting me, Little did they know Her hands looked so delicate, but they dealt me much damage Yet a sweet, polite young lady was something I could always manage The truth is, she was never truly emotionally attached to me Her life was not at all like she wanted it to be She blamed it on me, but you’d never hear her say it Always calling me a pest, useless, a piece of **** I never had a childhood, I had to babysit mother like any good daughter would so I’m like a callous disney princess Hating the world, yet still sweet, looking for a palace and a prince to meet I can’t hate my mother, no matter how hard I try She still has this power over me, this I can’t deny I live with my grandmother now, from my father’s side Karma got Mother, her unhappiness she tries to hide Although our relationship has improved The scars will never subside
