Mother Poem by Caroline Bulleck

Mother

Rating: 5.0


You caused my tears to flow
Frightened me for enjoyment
Why do you hate me so?
Did I deserve such torment?
You wished I was never born
But always favored my brother
You abused me with much scorn
And you wonder why I hate you. "Mother"
I fantasized about suicide
Hated every morning that I still awoke
Believed I was a burden of a child
Couldn't feel anything with my heart so broke
I wanted to feel love
I wanted to feel death
I always dreamt of belonging, with every breath!
You psychologically
And physically abused
Me, lied about everything to me
I did nothing and I was still accused!
I never want to see your face
Never want to hear your voice
I've created my own life and space
You won't hurt me again
Because I know have a choice

I can feel the abuse in this well written poem. The last line is the key, Because I know I have a choice.
