you said you could see into my mind
as you stared into my deadened eyes
you said I would die alone and cold
but now I can see these were all lies
you chided the child I truly was
molded me into your little prize
broke me until I hid from the world
but now I do know these were all lies
you split me from my sister as you
put her down as though she were a vice
made me base my self worth on her pain
but now I can feel these were all lies
you told me my body was your own
as you grabbed my *** amidst my cries
that I was crazy for saying stop
but now I am sure these were all lies
you said you were the most honest one
within your words no mistruth could hide
your recall of my life was perfect
even then I thought these were all lies
A personal poem to reconcile with what happened within my family. The "you said/did" lines are basically taken directly from what my mom used to do when I was a kid. Don't base your self worth on what an abuser tells you, they all are lies.
