To My Mother

The breeze rips through my hair

chilling the forearms I left bare

My breath catches in my throat

I put up the hood of my sleeveless coat

My tears freeze to my face

I wish it weren't the case

I really thought you were cool 

but that was before you became a tool

My heart still aches

remembering how you called me fake

Letting you control how much I take

At this point I would rather drown

than face you and that awful frown

the one that made me feel so scared

putting in energy as you glared

i saw the hatred in your eyes 

as you screamed you putrid lies

now all I want to do

is exactly what is best for you.

I must escape

like a hero's cape

the breeze rips through my hair

As I meet your eyes with an icy stare

I'm done with you

I'm no longer new

I know your game

You have no fame

I'm stronger now

I'm not afraid

Now that I'm mad

I'm sad 

I'm glad

Mom you failed me

As you wailed me

Hit me

Threw me

Lost me

You hurt me so much

Then used my broken body as a crutch

Who do you think you are

Fucking me over near and far

I hate you bitch

I'm gonna need a stitch

Or two

Instead of loving me, you treated me like the flu

the one that retched

the one that stretched

my throat

my feelings

my thoughts

the truth

don't you know I'm sick of you?

Go on now

you worthless cow

Your job is done

I have won

Was it worth it?
