A Young Girl
I am a young girl with a young heart
who is struggling to understand the pain
that is eating its way through me.
I wander from the light into the darkness,
and at times, I feel like I won’t survive,
because he broke me.
A father, scared of being a father,
snatched the love and worship from my essence,
because he cannot love and he cannot live at ease.
I am a young girl with young fears,
who still has fresh tears tenderly sloping down my cheeks,
because my father is fearful and he had made me fear him.
I see the worship in the infinite black eyes of my mother
and she loves him, in spite of his fear, even with his sinister air,
because she loves unconditionally and I hate in the same way.
I will never be the woman that my mother is,
nor will I be the darkness whom I call my father,
because I know love through my mother, regardless of the pain and fear.
I will never live to see my father writhe,
because I will alter myself and evolve into radiance,
because I am my mother’s daughter and no longer a fatality of my father.
