Ice Mother

You used
Pick- axe words
On my ice woman's body
Drilled;
Between my thighs
Whore
Between my temples
Murderer
Within my soul
Disgusting

You are the one who
Made me whisper like
My decision was poisen
'Please doctor
I need an abortion'

You, my mother
The ice creator
The ice breaker

Had the nerve to feel
Pleasure about
The ice daughter
You had manipulated with
A chisel tounge
And hammer fists

Call me a devil 
Call me a devil
Call me a devil
Just to make me feel
Below your
Level

Me
The Ice Daughter
I'm full of holes
I'm a disaster
Destruction zone

But I'm a woman
In charge of my
Own
Fucking body

& now I'm out in the
Sun sun sun-shine
& you will be wrecked
To know
That the Ice did not penetrate
My flesh, soul or bone

The ice has melted
Now I'm free

My wings are a
Kaleidoscope of
Memories my life
Has coloured me with

My heart is not
Forgiving of you
Anymore
But that does not make
Me unkind

It means I'm finally
Not a doormat
For you to rub your
Boots in

I am a daughter
Without a mother
I am a daughter
Who has sacrificed
Enough of her life
To a mother's demands
I am a daughter
Who is finished with a mother
Stating that her daughter is
Not enough  

I am a daughter
Without a ice mother

I am not defined as a daughter.
I am the entire family you took from
Me;
I am to myself the philosophies of
A gran, a sister, a niece, a nephew, an aunt, three uncle's and one mother-
That is not made from ice and fire.

For this is my body and my body is my choice.   
For this is my beautiful body and this is my life.
For this is my life and I am allowed to be loved and feel love.
