what if the person that gave birth to me
the one that was supposed to love and accept me
used to be the monster i was afraid of at night
the one that told me i was worthless all the time
*what if the person that gifted me with my life*
*is actually the person that made me want to die*

It's sad for anyone to end up feeling that way. I can truly feel the pain written in this when I read it. Too often a parent is blessed with a child, and then thrushes him/her to the ground, so to speak. Rather physical or mental or oral violence, it's a shame. I wish I could adopt all the unwanted children and teenagers in this world. I'd love them as my own. <3

This poem is my life. Living with an abusive mother is strange and awful. I'm sorry you have to go through this. <3

I couldn't imagine that 
I've never done that
But my mother did
And my daughter retold them as her own. While my mother stood by

You basically described the woman that calls herself "mother"
and i'm really sorry that i read about something so familiar to me in your writing, i'm not gonna sugarcoat it and say 'everything will be alright' but i will say that for now it's not gonna be okay, and poetry really helps letting out all the pain that has been kept inside, i really hope things get better for you:)
