i was a child
everything i was, was something you hated
but you always said you loved me
i wish you’d said you hated me
because that would be easier
than believing you cared
everything you did to me still defines me
all of the pain and the misery
you were the only one i could have trusted
and you used that against me
i was a child
i didn’t deserve that

I use violence to show my love
Because I don’t want to show who I really am for all to abuse
I use my quick witted, sharp tongue to express myself
Because I can’t take the toll of speaking my truths to them
-because then they will walk away

I know you didn’t mean to not notice the abuse.
You say it almost every time we talk,
“If only you had told me.”
That would’ve helped,
But a little girl isn’t supposed to be so good at hiding her wounds.
If only you had noticed.
I know you didn’t mean to,
But why is it my fault
For “hiding things so well.”
Dear god,
I didn’t even know what I was doing.
I don’t want to be angry,
I know you didn’t mean to,
But mom,
It is not my fault
For being a scared little girl,
With no one she can trust.

There is a fire inside of me that can't be quenched
There is a hole in my chest that can't be filled
There is a weight on my shoulders that can not be lifted
There is a child within me who won't stop screaming
There is a woman within me that won't stop weeping
My heart is broken and I can't find all the pieces, there is not enough glue
There are wounds here that will not heal
There are bruises that will not fade
There is a lump in my throat, all the words that refuse to be swallowed
They want to come up, they want to come up
There are pictures that don't go away
Scenes from the movie screen
Horror, terror, violence, rage
Hate, regret, disaster, tragedy
The feelings wrap around my throat like a rope
The truth is hot against my neck like a knife
The knife wants to slice me open, the blood is acceptance
This body was never mine
This body does not belong to me
This body is an object of pleasure
To be used by whomever pays the highest price
I am only visiting here, I am not in control
The pain was just temporary
The pain is lasting forever
But this time it is not between my legs that are burning but inside my heart
There is a fire inside me that can't be quenched
There are wounds here that will not heal
How long will I have to bear the consequences
Maybe for the rest of my life

i still hope
i still hope that i never wake up
i still hope i never have to remember
i still hope i never hear your voice
i still hope i never see your face
i still hope it can all finally end
i still hope i can finally rest
you made a monster out of me
you didnt make me strong
you made me afraid
but your only hope is still have me
