the strength to forgive is not something i was born with i am a lowborn, spitting at the sun

what i went through, no child should have suffered through i was raised in shadow and shame

forgive them, they say, you're in agony you're drinking poison and expecting them to die

i'm aware that i'm dying with fire in my veins, i will never forgive, never forget

the strength to forgive is not something i will learn, this poison has consumed me

i am not the child who i was, who i lost, who i grieve i am a snake, ready to strike

i will not be wronged again, i am taking you down with me

i'm never a priority

i'm never someone's reason for waking up

the giver, never the taker

never the taker, always the asker

i ask for time

i ask for patience

i ask for comfort

i'm never a priority

never the taker

never the reason

The Child You Never Wanted

you tell me to brush my own hair I don’t know how you roll your eyes and tell me to figure it out

I’m brushing as hard as I can Tearing pieces of my hair out with knots, clumped up and bloody

I’m crying and go to tell you there’s blood mommy I’m not sure if what I’m doing is right

But you scream at me for bothering you Can’t you do anything by yourself? Why did I even have you?

I run and hug her, tell her I’m sorry I cried I love you mommy, I won’t ask again

I squeeze harder, if the hug is big enough it shows how much you love them

She doesn’t hug me back.

i look at my mother

her hair is graying she's always in pain

she shakes when lifting the milk her hand perpetually on the side of her back

she's holding herself together she's trying her best

mother i can't give you a grandchild i'm not like you, i'm not strong

you're staring out the window in a daze watching the grass move with the wind

are you remembering are you regretting

i recall the last time you held me in your arms your hair was a beautiful brown and you were so full of life

mother hold me again one last time

is it not enough

but God is it not enough that i weep is it not enough that i suffer

can i be saved if i can't save myself

will you welcome me or turn me away

for now i'm trying to make it but its not enough

i'm falling from the sky i try to fly, broken as my wings are

i fall into darkness

i'm a little girl again i cannot save her

its not enough
