#thrusted
Welcomed by Mother's well-meaning embrace Touch tender as a trap could be How could my poor mother know? The path laid for her precious baby? Naivety must have rendered her blind To awful truths of this life Pain is inevitable for everyone No one escapes sorrow and strife A happy bubble flourished years I was small Raised a sweet girl who made her proud Four members of a perfect family Tucked in each night warm, safe, and sound. Had riches beyond measure when I was young I treated it like dirt Ungrateful for blessings owned I'd never experienced hurt Time unwillungly thrusted me forwards Stole innocent hours one by one After that problems rushed swiftly in Unappreciated happiness forever done Heartbroken heaviness settled in my bones Weight growing larger still as days go by If mom had paused to really think her decision through Would she have chosen to birth a daughter who would rather die?
